When asked about her struggle to bring her story out, she said, "To bring out the story I had to speak a thousand times, but I didn't care as long as the truth came out."
She also urged that rape victims should speak up and fight for justice. "I was so defenseless.
But today I see the support for me. We need to talk about it. We must talk about this, it's important. There are a lot of animals out there," she said.
She also said that it was support from her family that helped her come out with her story. "I never wanted to go to the police or talk about it. I wanted to bury it in my heart. But my daughters, my family explained to me. I am so angry. I am not ashamed, I am angry that they can do this and get away with this. But I am glad they now know they can't," she said.
The victim, however, refrained from commenting on the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's remarks on the case. Mamata had labelled the rape victim a part of a greater conspiracy against her government.
Meanwhile the three accused who were arrested on Saturday have been sent to police custody till March 3. The main rape suspect is still at large.
