When the Border Guard Police saw her they reportedly detained her and raped her. While one of the police was raping the girl another child who was also tending the cattle saw the incident and yelled for help from the other villagers. When the child was yelling the villagers stopped an left.

The BGP appeared to plan a gang rape, and one villager said they thought if they had done so the girl would have died from injury as result.

Recently the Rakhine State Chief Minister and other Ministers from Maungdaw visited north Maungdaw and had meetings with Rakhine villagers and other officials, but did no Rohingya were invited to meet with them.
