"I will not budge. I will not succumb to any pressure. I will fight for justice," added the woman putting up a brave face during crisis time.

An angry National Commission for Women demanded resignation of state home minister.

"This barbaric incident took place when the girl went to the police for help, it is their duty to ensure that a judicial probe looks into the matter. The state home minister must also resign," NCW Chairperson Mamta Sharma said.
