The application said that as a social activist and mother of a young law student, Thakur felt that "it was her duty to register an FIR against such people who have committed these crimes as alleged by two young interns."

She said that the FIR must be registered in compliance with the recent Supreme Court order in Lalita Kumari versus State of Uttar Pradesh and others which has made registration of FIR compulsory.

Thakur claimed that she initially moved the application in Gomtinagar police station but no case was registered.

The case is likely to come up for hearing on Monday.
