The accused who was hired as a 'civic volunteer' was sent to 14-day police custody under the charges of Sections 64 (rape) and 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The report further states that the accused had easy access to the hospital due to being hired as a 'civic volunteer,' a person who assists police and takes part in the police welfare board.
