The court heard that the victim took a motorcycle ride to a friend’s place, and halfway the trip, the accused slowed down near a forest where he took a knife, threatened and beat her up.

She secretly dialled her sister’s number, who rushed to the scene together with other riders and found the accused in the act.

He attempted to run but was arrested and handed over to the police.

Six witnesses testified in the case.
