Deepa Nishanth, an assistant professor of Sree Kerala Varma College in Kerala has accused BJP functionaries of issuing a death threat on Facebook for demanding justice for the eight-year-old Kathua rape and murder victim. Endorsing the view of a Bengaluru-based it professional Deepa shared a post seeking justice for the Kathua victim even if it meant shooting 31% of people who supported Hindutva terrorism. The BJP men have been targeting Deepa Nishanth since April 12, the day she shared the post.
