Ramesh reportedly began visiting the girl at her home frequently from April 2020 onward. When the girl became pregnant, Ramesh is said to have threatened her not to reveal this information to anyone. However, after the girl fell sick, her grandmother took her to Kadaba community health centre where the doctors found during the check-up that she had become pregnant. She was then taken to Lady Goschen Hospital Mangaluru for additional tests where they confirmed that the girl was one and half months into her pregnancy.
After this was confirmed, the girl had complained against Ramesh.
