Deepika is looking for cheap publicity .Bar Council of India's inquiry panel rejected the allegations against lawyers of Jammu Bar Association of threatening victim's lawyer Deepika Singh Rajawat or preventing cops from filing charge-sheet in the court.https://t.co/UIYOJPyHee

You're gonna lose the respect you command, if you don't read up on that issue before tweeting nonsense.
Unless of course, you too have given up on the pretense of being unbiased and are now agenda driven more than ideal driven as was made out by popular media.

I already lost respect for Emma Watson. Anyone who blindly follows biased reports is not worth following.

Rajawat has been representing the family of the eight-year-old girl whose body was recovered from Rassana forest in Kathua on January 17, a week after she went missing while grazing horses in the forest area.
She was reportedly held captive inside a temple and was sedated before being raped, tortured and murdered.
