Speaking to The Indian Express on her way to Chandigarh to meet an advocate at the High Court, Kaur’s sister Rajvir said, “We have started the process. I’ll tell you—23 yo labor rights activist Nodeep Kaur was arrested, tortured & sexually assaulted in police custody. Rejecting her bail, Sessions Judge Y S Rathor stated that Kaur was “also facing two FIRs… relating to extortion of money and threats”. “In view of the gravity of offence, the applicant does not deserve concession of bail and bail application is dismissed,” states the judgment. Kaur’s relatives said she became involved with the Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan after she started working at a factory in Kundli.
