She may have been gang-raped and subjected to a bout of trauma subsequently, but the gutsy Mumbai-based intern photojournalist says that she "will fight it out" and "wants to be back at work as early as possible". Her only worry is the possible misuse of the cell-phone clips that the accused had taken when miscreants perpetrated the sexual assault on her in turns.
"This is not the end of my life.....I want to fight it out....I would like to go back to work as early as possible," the victim girl told Nirmala Sawant-Prabhavalkar, Chairperson of the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission, when she met the girl at the Jaslok Hospital "The girl also told me that the accused could be convicted for seven years, and they could harm her once out of jail. I assured her that the new law ensures life imprisonment and we should fight for maximum punishment," Sawant-Prabhavalkar said.
