Priyanka Shete, a second-year law student, on Tuesday filed a petition against her family for threatening her for having an inter-caste relationship.

Shete's lawyer, Nitin Satpute told reporters here, "Priyanka Shete was in love with a boy Viraj who hails from the Scheduled Caste community. Her family members disapproved of her relation and threatened to kill her if she did not end her relationship. Her uncle threatened her with a pistol due to which she attempted suicide, even then the intimidation from inside the family did not stop."
