Deepika S Rajawat, who is fighting Asifa’s case, says that she has been facing threats from fellow lawyers in Jammu. Rajawat (38) is chairperson and founder of Voice for Rights, an NGO which works among underprivileged women and children.

On Thursday, she accused Jammu Bar Association president BS Slathia of threatening her.

“I am not a member of the Jammu Bar Association. But on Wednesday, Slathia asked me to stay away from the case while I was going to the court. I am not answerable to him, I am only answerable to my client,” she told TV channels.
