It has been stated that on 31.8.2011 her husband was not in the house, the prosecutrix after finishing dinner went in the upper storey for sleeping. Her children were sleeping in a separate room. The petitioner entered the room of the prosecutrix at about 11.00 p.m and committed forcible sexual intercourse with her by extending threats. The petitioner said that he would kill her in case prosecutrix would disclose the incident to anyone. In the meantime, her husband entered the room. The petitioner and her husband had scuffle, but petitioner managed to escape. In hurry, the petitioner left his shirt. On hearing noise, her brother-in-law Satish Kumar and his father Shiv Ram came there. She narrated the incident to them and also to her husband. On this, case was registered.

It has not been explained how the petitioner entered the room of the prosecutrix in the upper story of the house at 11.00 p.m. There is nothing about the past familiarity of prosecutrix with the petitioner so as to find out element of consent on the part of the prosecutrix. It has been stated in the status report that prosecutrix disclosed the incident immediately to her husband, who returned in the house at that time. The prosecutrix also immediately disclosed the incident to Satish Kumar and Shiv Ram.
