She said in a video message that “how can I comfort other victims in my own police department when I am not safe, how can I really care about providing justice for other victims when I, myself a survivor, while I do not get justice in the harassment case.”

She said the Senior Police Superintendent’s PRO in Lucknow did not allow her to meet with the officer and lodge her grievance and claimed that the PRO backed the accused officials.
