On Wednesday, Kangana Raut took to her Twitter handle to express her anger over Nikita Tomar's murder in Haryana. Police on Tuesday arrested two men for allegedly killing a 21-year-old woman outside her college in Haryana's Ballabhgarh. Kangana wrote that Nikita's 'bravery is no less than Rani Laxmi Bai or Padmavati'.

Kangana further slammed the 'selective activism' by 'filmy bimbos' for keeping quiet over Nikita's brutal murder. The woman's father alleged that Tausif had been harassing her for the last two years and pressing her for marriage, which she refused. He also claimed that Tausif was trying to convert Nikita.

Nikita, a student of B.Com final year, had come out of her college after appearing for an exam on Monday afternoon when the incident took place, according to PTI report. The accused, who arrived at the spot in a car, had tried to pull the woman inside, in a bid to abduct her, but she resisted after which the key accused shot her, the police said. She was taken to a hospital, but she succumbed to injuries, the ACP said.
