As per the reports, the victim was first assaulted in 2017. The accused had called her to his office on the pretext of conducting extra classes after school. However, once she reached his office, he took her to a room where he made her have a "sedative-laced soft drink."

Further, Singh not only assaulted her when she was in an unconscious state, he also made a nude video of her.
