“At first, it was a casual side hug,” recalled Saha. “It did strike me as odd, but nothing to make an issue of.” In a matter of days, the casual hugging gave way to more aggressive sexual assault acts and before she could realise, he digitally raped her.
“When it happened the first time, I kept quiet thinking it would stop. But it happened again, and I was petrified to speak about it even to my mother because I was afraid that she would blame me for not speaking about it at the first instance,” said Saha, who now lives in the US
In Saha's words, Ojha had mastered the art of “grooming” the victim. “He would give a gap of a few days leading me to believe that his perversion had stopped. Just when I thought my ordeal had come to an end, he would take it to its next level.”
