Whenever a rape case happen, one of the reasons why the survivor does not go to the police station to report is that during the interrogation she is asked extremely uncomfortable questions, they (police) tend to think that the girl is lying,” Meera said.
According to the actress while Article 375 is an important law to protect the rights of women, it has been observed in several research reports that the law has been misused, too. “That is a reason it becomes difficult for a woman to report a rape case. The authorities think it is a fake case because such things have happened in the past.
