A rape survivor who is leading a campaign for the arrest of five men seen in a WhatsApp video taking turns to rape a woman has alleged that her car was attacked after she appeared on a TV show in Hyderabad.
 
Sunitha Krishnan, who runs an anti-trafficking NGO called Prajwala, said her car was stoned on Friday morning after she appeared on NDTV to announce her #ShameTheRapistCampaign. Krishnan put up the WhatsApp video, which is believed to be at least six months old, on YouTube on Thursday to start a campaign to get the men arrested.
 
"Ten seconds into the video, I was overcome. I had to stop as I needed to throw up," she told NDTV. Two separate videos are reportedly being shared on WhatsApp that show  five men smiling and posing for the camera as they take turns to rape a woman.
Krishnan was alerted of the video by an acquaitance who received it on WhatsApp. "On checking the videos I found it was not enacted but a true video which some 'sicko' while raping had recorded it, in all probability to threaten and intimidate the victim. The original video is with me which 8 mins and 4 mins long. I cut short the video, protected the identity of the victim...but the rapist is for you to see", she wrote on her Facebook page.
 
Krishnan, who was raped when was a teenager and campaigns to protect women from trafficking, has made several posts on her Facebook page requesting people to help trace the rapists. "They are prowling around and are a threat to any woman or child. Please help us trace them. We need to nationally shame them and then hand them to the authorities", she wrote.
