As per the Police complaint, the accused misbehaved with her two times at two different locations on 12th and 13th March.

At first, the priest sexually abused the victim at the Church. Following the incident, the girl refused to go to the Church the next day. However, the priest himself went to her home, took the girl inside a room, closed the door, and sexually harassed her.

Following the traumatic experience, the girl refused to go for counselling on the second day, said the Police. She later informed one of her friends, who revealed it to the school authorities, who later registered a complaint to the childline, following which the Police arrested the accused Pastor.
