The victim in her complaint at Vasant Kunj (North) police station had said that she had posted on her Facebook profile that she wanted to watch the popular Marathi movie 'Sairat' and asked if anyone had a CD of the film. She claims that Ratan messaged her saying that he had a copy.

Thereafter, he picked her up on August 20 on the pretext of giving her a CD of the film and took her to Brahamputra Hostel, where he stays.

There he allegedly offered her a spiked drink and proceeded to rape her. After the sexual assault, he offered to drop her to hostel, but she called a friend to escort her back.

Soon after she left, she allegedly received close to 13 calls from him, threatening her against telling anyone that he had raped her.

Ratan was expelled from AISA after being accused of rape.
