According to a police report, the woman and one of the youths were friends. On the day of the attack, he took her outside the city, claiming he wanted to give her an expensive gift. Two of his friends were waiting at the place and they raped her and took photos of her. A few days later, another youth disguised as a police detective approached her and asked her to accompany him.

He took her to two of his friends, who raped her. The woman complained to the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia). In a sting operation Haia members arrested the five men.

The friend was jailed for 10 years, the bogus policeman received eight years and the remaining culprits were sentenced to three to six years in prison.
