When the father of Harendra (and the victim) approached Ghosal Pasi the next day to discuss and accept a punishment for his son, whether a fine or a beating, the panchayat gave no answer. But according to the New York Times, Ghosal Pasi gave the verdict to Suguna Devi's husband while the victim's father was away at work:
"Ghosal told his son-in-law, 'You do the same thing to his daughter that this man did to your wife,' so he grabbed her and dragged her to the jungle," said Lakshman Prasad Singh, inspector general of the Jharkhand State police.
No one came to the girl's help despite her screaming. When she returned from the forest, her family took her to the closest police station an hour's walk away, where her rape was confirmed.
The police have stated that they are taking the case very seriously and district administration stationed two armed guards outside the victim's hut. Despite claims made by the panchayat's son that he did not actually specifically order his son-in-law to rape the girl, both Ghosal Pasi and his son-in-law have been taken into custody. Harendra, who initially assaulted Suguna Devi has also been arrested.
