Jharkhand, Dec 23: The campaign for ‘Justice for Ayesha‘ on social media has intensified. People have requested the Mumbai Police to give protection to Aisha. #justiceforayesha has joined the top trend of India in the last 24 hours. A four-page letter is also being shared under this hashtag.

The alleged incident came to light after several netizens took to Twitter on Wednesday to trend ‘Justice for Ayesha’ to demand justice for a woman, who was allegedly raped and threatened by the incumbent Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren seven years ago at a hotel in Mumbai.

The issue was propped by Godda MP Nishikant Dubey in June this year, who had demanded the reopening of rape and kidnapping case which was lodged by a Mumbai-based girl against Soren way back in 2013. However, rejecting all allegations, Soren had also filed a Rs 100 crore each defamation suit against Dubey and others, alleging they had published defamatory statements against him.
