After justice was denied for nearly three months, a rape victim in Bihar has requested permission from President Pranab Mukherjee for mercy killing.

A resident of Saflapur village in the Arwal district in Bihar, the woman who is in her 20s has written a letter to the President asking him to intervene in the matter, as reported by IANS. The woman has levelled allegations against the police and has complained that they have been very lacklustre in their investigation, and the accused is scot free even to this day.

The victim had lodged a complaint on October 22 against her relative who was from her father's side, who is also said to be a defence personnel posted outside Bihar. She has also accused the family of the defence personnel of threatening her and her family.
