"As far as the party leadership goes, it is very clear that they are trying to intimidate me into withdrawing my complaint. However, for Dhruv, I tried my best to reach out to him to tell him my version but he ignored my calls and messages," said Maliwal in her post.

"It is shameful that people like him, who claim to be independent journalists could act like other AAP spokespersons and victim shame me to the extent that I am now facing extreme abuses and threats," she added.

Maliwal concluded her tweet by criticising the AAP and its supporters over their numerous attempts to vilify and shame her publicly. She also stated that she is reporting the alleged rape and death threats to the Delhi Police, hoping that the officials would take strong action against the perpetrators.
