Niharika Rajput stages a hunger strike demanding justice in Kathmandu, Nepal

Carrying her 21 month old child in her arms, Niharika Rajput of Dhanusha, on Friday, has started a fast-unto-death strike demanding the government for justice against her alleged rapist. With a 21 month old child born out of rape, Niharika, who was been campaigning for justice even before the birth of her child, has knocked doors of the police and the courts – however, has not been served with justice.

Running out of hopes, she has staged a hunger strike.
