By this time, the girl had fallen in love with Tirunaavukkarasu. He asked her to come to Unjavelampatty, near Pollachi to introduce her to his friends. Accepting his invite the girl went the place and got into Tirunaavukkarasu‘s car as he requested. The car’s windows had black stickers all around and while Tirunaavukkarasu was in the rear seat, his friends Sabari and Satheesh were in the front.

Once the car started, Tirunaavukkarasu started misbehaving with the girl. When the girl noticed that his friend was recording this on video, she shouted and shrieked and tried to jump out of the car. The boys then threatened her that if she did not obey them, the video will be circulated on social media and they snatched the gold chain she was wearing and left her.

Next day, Tirunaavukkarasu had contacted the girl and demanded money from her. Scared, the girl tearfully described everything to her father. On the basis of the complaint filed by her father, Pollachi police have rounded up Sathish, Sabari and Vasantha Kumar of this gang. Tirunaavukkarasu is still absconding.
