A  Rajasthani woman will be taking a solo ride on her scooter to Kanyakumari to raise the issue of women's safety after the brutal case that took place in Hyderabad with a 27-year-old doctor. The woman from Rajasthan, Neetu Chopra, via her ride to Kanyakumari, wants to send out the message that crimes like the rape and murder of a Hyderabad veterinarian should not force women indoors. Neetu Chopra will be meeting the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot before starting her journey to the south.

"There has been enough of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhoa'. We need to make girls independent and capable of hitting back instead of calling the helpline," said Neetu Chopra, a resident of Udaipur.

Neetu Chopra also met the Union Cabinet Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in Jodhpur on Sunday, where she informed him about her mission. This will be a 3,200-km scooter ride from Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu.
