Kaya Enrich was allegedlly molested by a plumber who had come to their apartment to repair a shower. Her efforts to get justice turned out to be another ordeal as she was humiliated in an open court and ridiculed by the Defence Lawyer, Sanjay Prajapati.
The alleged molestation victim said, "Humiliation in court was as bad as s*xual assault. Questions in court were aimed at demeaning me."
The victim's lawyer, Meena Jagtap, said, "Kaya knows only English and she was not provided a translator. She was humiliated in the court. Everyone was laughing at her. Even the defence lawyer was also laughing. The accused was also laughing."
Speaking on the questions her client was asked, Jagtap said, "Irrelevant questions were asked. The questions were like whether my client takes a bath or nor, if she smokes or takes liquor, about the distance between her house and her work place."
