Two of his accomplices were also inside the vehicle.
Once the woman and her children boarded the car, Shehzad drove to an isolated place and forcibly took the woman inside the abandoned house and raped her while the other two men stood guard outside with her children.
When some passers-by spotted the children and asked them what they were doing at the place, the two men fled.
