Kargil martyr's daughter gets 'rape threats' for opposing ABVP

New Delhi, Feb 26 (PTI) The Delhi University student, whose social media campaign against ABVP recently went viral, today alleged to have received "rape threats".
Lady Sri Ram Ram College student Gurmehar Kaur, daughter of Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh, said she has attracted a barrage of hate messages over her stand on the issue.
"I have been getting a lot of threats on social media. I think it is very scary when people threaten you with violence or with rape," said Gurmehar.
Giving rape threats "in the name of nationalism" is not right, she added.
