Angira Pasi went missing on Friday, May 22, 2020. When her widowed mother began searching for her, she discovered that their neighbor, 25-year-old Birendra Bhar, had raped her daughter. The following morning, Saturday, May 23, a community meeting was held, which included Ward Chairman Amar Bahadur Chaudhary. It was decided that Angira would be married to Bhar. Upon arriving at Birendra’s house, Angira was attacked by his family members due to her Dalit status. Later that day, her body was found hanging from a local tree near the Rohini river. Initially, the police considered it a suicide, despite a significant amount of evidence suggesting otherwise. The case was only registered after widespread public outrage.
