My sister was raped in the month of November followed by repeated assault. Due to the physical trauma sustained we couldn't report the incident. Now threatened with death if any legal action is taken.

Immediately consult a lawyer to handle your issue and file the case in jurisdictional court against the accused. Simultaneously approach the Human Rights and Women's Commission to seek their support so that the matter won't get digressed due to police inaction.
