During her visit, Patkar demanded a fast-track investigation, strict legal action against the accused and clear accountability from the authorities. She stressed that women’s safety cannot be compromised and that assurances must be backed by concrete action.

Emphasising the urgency of justice, Patkar said that the survivor must not be left to fight the battle alone and called for a sensitive and survivor-centric approach by the authorities.
“Justice must be swift. The survivor must not be left to fight alone. Our daughters must never have to grow up in fear,” she asserted.
