== Legal activism ==
When Nirbhaya’s case came into light, she as a law trainee at that time participated in various protest demanding for justice. She officially became Nirbhaya’s lawyer in 2014 demanding capital punishment for all four adult convicts as soon as possible. On 24 January 2014, she joined Nirbhaya Jyoti Trust as a legal adviser. Nirbhaya Jyoti Trust is an institution founded by the victim’s parents to assist women who have experienced violence to find shelter and legal assistance. This was her first case. She pushed for Fast track court listing. Nevertheless, due to numerous review and curative petitions by convicts and slowness of the legal system, the case got delayed till finally, on 4 March 2020, a last death warrant was issued by court with the execution date as 20 March 2020 at 5:30 a.m. On 20 March 2020, at 5:30 a.m. IST, the four adult convicts were executed by hanging at Tihar Jail.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-51969961|title=Nirbhaya case: Four Indian men executed for 2012 Delhi bus rape and murder|date=20 March 2020|via=www.bbc.com}}</ref>
