Other facts:

• Gudia was getting continuous threat from crime perpetrators all these years but none of them have been convicted as a result they (accused) continued to harass her.
• In January last, she had received a threat letter at her cafe. The activists many times approached senior police officials to provide proper security to the victim but unfortunately our police once again failed to discharge their duty and she continued to live an unsecured life.
• The attacks generally took place around the time when Gudia was to go to court to record her statement. The SC/ST commission had also directed Rae Bareli administration for security that time, but nothing has ever been provided to the homeless woman.

About Gudia:

• 45-year-old is a mother of two.
• She works at Lucknow’s Sheroes Hangout Cafe.
• She was gang-raped in 2008.
• First acid attack took place in 2011 followed by serious attacks again in 2011, twice in 2012 and once again in 2013.
