The victim said in the application that she did not tell anyone about the incident out fear for her husband’s life and social stigma. She has alleged that Rizvi continued raping her after sending her husband out of station. In her application, she said that she told her husband about the incident on June 11, when it became unbearable for her. “Knowing that we were going to lodge a complaint with the police, Rizvi threatened us with dire consequences.
