I am scared,” she said.Her Name is Mehrunisa Khan and she is the state president for National Cow Service Corps in Madhya Pradesh, is being threatened not just by outsiders, but her family has also turned against her. She alleged that she was thrashed by her in-laws, who warned her against working towards the protection of cows. Her parents and daughter, too, have refused to support her, she says.
“They (the attackers) are threatening me on WhatsApp. They have sent me photographs of severed heads and said that one of those could be mine soon. Either kill me or save me,” she said.

“I was thrashed and abused by my in-laws for being associated with cow protection and for speaking against triple talaq. It has been four months since I filed a complaint, but the police aren’t helping. They are calling it a ‘family matter’. I appeal to the Chief Minister and Prime Minister to help me,” she told news agency.
Ms Mehrunisa Khan runs a cow shelter in Neemuch, about 500 kms from her home. Threats have become an everyday occurrence. She lives in the gaushala (cow shelter) when she is on a visit and recently rented a room in Bhopal as she has nowhere to go, she said.
