The allegations that surfaced on Thursday, 3 January, accused Patra of secretly recording the audio of their sexual encounter and of going against the survivor’s consent during the act.

The details of the incident, and screenshots where Patra admitted to the actions were posted by Instagram user Priyanka Paul on behalf of the survivor.

In her account, the survivor wrote that the incident happened on 11 November, but it took her some time to speak about it and “not feel ashamed” of what had happened.
