After these allegations surfaced against Bansal, she told the media that she had never hidden her identity and had gone to Hathras to extent moral and financial support to the victim's family. She has claimed that she is a forensics expert and wanted to examine the autopsy report.
"If it is true that I am involved with Naxalites, let the authorities prove it", Bansal has been quoted as saying.
