New Delhi: The lawyer representing the Unnao rape survivor had written to the district magistrate urgently seeking a weapon licence in a letter dated July 15, roughly a week before a car in which he was travelling with the woman and her two aunts was involved in an accident with a truck.
In the letter, the lawyer pleads with the magistrate saying that he is "apprehensive that he may be killed in the future".
The letter states that the lawyer had requested for a licence in Septmeber 2018, but was denied because of the pressure and influence of the state government on police and district administration.
