When a Supreme Court judge asks, in open court, "She went on to have a child with the man without marriage, and now she is saying rape and assault — what is this?", two things happen simultaneously.

Francis has filed a complaint with police stating that illegal sand miners in the area made an attempt on her life and that of Nag during the late night raid on April 2.
