"It is really not appreciated. It seems like an act of public outrage because they are aware of this case and obviously, still Rathore is not being punished. So, yes it is just because of that, may be," she said.
68-year-old Rathore was left bleeding after the youth, who was taking his pictures as he came out of the court hearing his appeal in the case, hit him repeatedly on his cheek.
