The duo spread their activities in the thick jungles of Chambal but this was not acceptable to other dacoits of the region. One night, she was kidnapped by two dacoit brothers, Sri Ram and Lala Ram.
They also killed Phoolan's lover and several other gang members.
Phoolan was then taken to a nearby village called Behmai, where she was gang raped by the brothers and other villagers for almost three weeks.
