As per the report lodged with the police, on 06.08.2018 at 12.00 noon, when the de facto complainant went to the house of one Nagamani and while she was bringing water in a bucket, the petitioner/accused caught hold of her from back side, forcibly took away her into the room of the said house and made an attempt to commit sexual assault on her. When she made hue and cry, the husband of the de facto complainant and other persons-K.Ramu, K.Dilip and K.Subbarao came there.
