Delhi Police will also be providing her security.
A day after the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) wrote to the Police Commissioner demanding security for a Kargil martyr's daughter, Delhi Police on Tuesday filed an FIR over alleged rape threats that the girl received.
Delhi police will be examining the matter on a priority basis and will also be providing proper security to her.
On Monday, Gurmehar Kaur, a Delhi University student, met DCW chief Swati Maliwal and said that she has been receiving rape threats on social media allegedly by ABVP members.
Kaur, daughter of Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh, started the campaign "I am not afraid of ABVP" following violence at Ramjas college, which went viral and received massive support from students across universities.
However, on Tuesday morning, Kaur withdrew from the campaign saying she had been through a lot.
Maliwal, who termed the act "shameful", had written to Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik demanding that an FIR be registered against the "abusers" and security be provided to the girl and her family.
"It is highly unfortunate and shameful that a strong and independent young girl is being threatened and abused for taking a stand against hooligans. It is deeply perturbing that the threats appear to have silent support of some celebrities and leaders as well," she added.
Meanwhile, renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar on Tuesday hit out at Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju, without taking his name, for asking who was polluting Kargil martyr daughter's mind.
Dismissing claims of being 'anti-national', Kaur has defended her demand for a violence-free university campus, adding she was not being influenced by anybody.
"I am not anti-national. My mind is not polluted. I have a mind of my own. I am an adult and can think and take individual decisions," Kaur told ANI in response to the statement by Rijiju.
The whole controversy over Ramjas College clash and a campaign launched by Kaur took a political turn on Monday after Rijiju's comment. However, after receiving rape threats and stating that she had been through a lot, Kaur has now withdrawn from her campaign.
Ramjas College had on Wednesday witnessed large-scale violence between members of AISA and ABVP workers. The genesis of the clash was an invite to JNU students Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid to address a seminar on 'Culture of Protests' which was withdrawn by the college authorities following opposition by the RSS student wing.
