We want justice for Nikita Tomar. Being able to get away with a murder in broad daylight makes Indian constitution look like a joke across the globe. Culprits have to be punished. Life or death sentence, nothing less. https://t.co/V9MkS2fhXN

It’s more than 24 hours when #NikitaTomar was killed in Faridabad for not converting to Islam by #Taufeeq and his gang but still not a single reaction from the women activists of our film industry who otherwise immediately come out with candles & placards . #Shame pic.twitter.com/3JpavszBJ6
