At that time an auto-rickshaw carrying four Bengali youths reached there and she got into this auto-rickshaw. Soon after getting the auto-rickshaw, she was compelled by Bengali youths to sit at the middle seat of the auto-rickshaw. Then the Bengali youths held her mouth and hair tight so that she cannot shout and move, then the auto-rickshaw was taken directly to the area of Munsi Abdur Rob Monument on Rangamati-Chittagong road). Then the Bengali youths forcefully took her at the jungle near Ejor restaurant of Munsi Abdur Rob Monument and attempted to rape her there.
