The distressing footage captures the survivor crying and hyperventilating as she recounts the assault, pointing out torn and stained clothes and naming her alleged assailants.

The police revealed that the survivor had been coerced into engaging in sex work for additional income, and on the night of the incident, she was reportedly forced into non-consensual sex acts.
