According to the police, Vasanth Gireesh, a second-year dental student, befriended the minor student. After that, he started taking the girl home and introduced her to cannabis.

More often than not, he reportedly took her home every night and rape her after making her smoke up marijuana.
The girl who lives with her grandmother started to sneak out of her home more often. As her father was working in a foreign country and her step-mother was residing with her daughter separately, there was no one to check on the girl.
Using this, Gireesh started to pick the girl up at night or at school and used to drop her at her house by 5 AM. He also invited his three friends over and they too raped the girl while she was under the influence of the drug. ┬аPunjab Shocker: Drunk Man Attempts To Rape 7-Year-Old Girl in Ludhiana; Booked
