She had come to her native place in Layyah on leave but was on her way back to Rawalpindi on board the same bus.

As she felt tired, she booked a room in the hotel on the ground floor and was taking rest when someone knocked at the door. As she answered, a suspect as named in the FIR entered the room and gagged her to make her silent and then forced her to take some substance which put her to sleep.

She alleged that in that state, the suspect sexually assaulted her and fled, leaving her unconscious. She further claimed that the accused inflicted injuries on various parts of her body with his nails. Police have registered a case and initiated an investigation.
