Gangraped in 2018, still seeking full justice: Rewari victim, family protest for gun licence, house

A rape victim and her family have been sitting on protest for almost two weeks in Haryana's Rewari. The survivor, a class 12 topper, was raped in September 2018, when she was 18 years old.

Almost 4 years later, the victim and her family are still living in fear. Despite police protection, they want a gun licence, and a house in a different location so they can live freely.

In October 2021, a local court had held 3 accused guilty, and acquitted 5 others, as per reports.

Speaking to editorji, the victim said, "We were given security cover 4 years ago. The Women's Commission had promised gun licence and another house. But that has not been provided yet. Police officials say that they will protect me and my mother, but not my father and brother, even if they get shot. I want a gun licence for my family's security."

The victim's father said, "Five of the culprits are from the same village. We come face-to-face with them multiple times. I want to shift my family somewhere else so that they are safe. Three of the culprits were punished. (inaudible) They say they will finish off our entire family since punishment for killing us will run in concurrence with their current jail term."
