Talking about the meeting with the National Commission for Women, Payal said to ANI, “I had a discussion with Rekha ma’am on how the investigation can speed up. She has assured me help. I have demanded security for myself because I am still not being able to step out from my Bombay house alone, either am with my own security personnel or with someone else. This will be a problem for my work and I can’t depend on anyone, so I would like to request security for my life. I have already written a plea to the Home Minister of Maharashtra, Anil Deshmukh ji. Due to the mafia image, some people have already told me to be very careful and to take all the precautions because your life is at stake. Or else, I think I am quite brave enough to come out and talk about it and I have taken all the risks but I have my family and my dad who are already tensed. So, we have put down the request, let’s see.”
