The iron pipes were placed in such a way that her leg got trapped tightly between them. She was unable to pull her leg out on her own and started crying in pain. Soon after, chaos broke out at the college gate. Other students gathered at the spot and tried to help her. At first, they attempted to free her leg using their hands, but it did not work. Later, water was poured on her leg in an effort to reduce friction. When that also failed, oil was applied to make the leg slip out easily. Despite these efforts, the rescue took a long time.
