Police arrested eight of the accused, including the MLA, and sent them to jail, said the survivor’s lawyer, Amit Dhawan. According to him, the survivor said she was “happy that justice has been served” and that her “wait of 13 years and six months paid off.”At the time of the incident in 2013, Lalpura was working as a taxi driver.

A taxi driver and some men molested her. When she resisted, they assaulted her. A police team that arrived also attacked her.
