Who is Deepika Rajawat?
Deepika Singh Rajawat shot to limelight when she took up the rape and murder case of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua. During the case, Rajawat had even sought protection as she was purportedly receiving threats for representing the affected family. However, in November 2018, she was removed from the case in the trial court at Pathankot in Punjab on the basis of an application moved by the father of the eight-year-old victim.
