They knocked our door at midnight and threw their threatening letters in the house.”
“No one can understand the stress of a little girl on her way to school,” said the daughter of the victim. “Every time I took a few steps, I turned back in fear and looked behind me. Even after my father’s martyrdom, they threatened us every day by calling our house, saying that they will set fire to the house and even set fire to the shop again or they will kidnap us on the way to school.”
