“During my fight for justice, often my house and I were attacked by the miscreants. Stones were pelted at me and my houses. Members of a particular political party targeted me for filing the rape case. I was threatened to keep quiet and stay at home. A lady worker of Congress party, whose husband is working in the Indian army, had conspired to kill me,” she alleged.

“However, I was not scared though faced lots of hardships,” she added.

“As the main accused has been arrested now, the CBI now can find out who had conspired the rape crime,”Anjana hoped.
