Want To Thank Court And CBI Who Served Me Justice: Tara Shahdeo

After the court pronounced the decision, Tara Shahdeo thanked the court and the CBI, saying that this justice is not just for her and that every daughter in the country will gain trust that whoever does this to them will be punished.

"I want to thank the court and the CBI who served me justice. This justice is not just for me, every daughter in the country will gain trust that whoever does this to them will be punished. People who do this would be afraid to not treat someone like this... When my fight started, it was labelled as domestic violence. But my efforts were that this should not happen with any girl. People were hesitant to speak that word. After this judgement, they would come up against it openly," Tara Shahdeo said, as quoted by ANI.
