They asked me what I was doing. I told them I was going for my coaching class. They offered me a glass of water. I drank it and fell unconscious. They took me into their car near a well. When I regained consciousness, another boy Nishu was already there. I started crying. All three of them gave me another laced drink. After drinking it, I fell unconscious and all three raped me.
