Ms. Rajveer, helped by a few of her friends and activists, fought for her sister’s release. She highlighted the alleged high-handedness of the police and, in a press conference, alleged sexual violence and torture against Ms. Nodeep in the police custody. She was not molested or raped, as reported in a section of media, but can’t a woman complain of sexual violence till the time she is subjected to its highest form?,” Ms. Rajveer told The Hindu. Stepping out of the Karnal Jail, Ms. Nodeep said she would soon join the farmers’ protest at Delhi’s Singhu border. Meena Harris was among those who welcomed the release of Ms. Nodeep and Disha Ravi: “Please stay loud — this fight is far from over,” Ms. Harris tweeted.
