Kathua rape victim's lawyer says, 'I can be raped or killed'
Kathua rape victim lawyer Deepika Singh Rajawat fears being raped
Deepika Singh Rajawat, Kathua rape victim’s lawyer said she fears for her life as she may get raped or murdered.
"Today, I don't know, I am not in my senses. I can be raped, I can be killed and maybe they won't allow me to practice in court. They (have) isolated me, I don't know how I can survive," Advocate Deepika Singh Rajawat said.
She added that she has been called anti-Hindu and boycotted socially.
Deepika also said she would be approaching the Supreme Court to demand security for herself and her family.
"I will tell this to the Supreme Court. I am feeling bad and it's really unfortunate. You can well imagined my plight. But, I will stand for justice and we would seek justice for the eight-year-old girl," she concluded.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) said a panel has been formed to probe the actions of Jammu and Kashmir Bar Association lawyers, who had stopped police from filing a chargesheet in the Kathua rape and murder case.
The alleged gangrape and murder of the eight-year-old girl, who belonged to nomadic Muslim community, took place in the Kathua district in January. After being missing for a week, her body was found on January 17.
