Film director Sujoy Ghosh faced flak for making Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh - a story about a six-year-old getting sexually abused by her uncle - but says recent incidents prove how it's reality.

Ghosh's tweet comes in the wake of eight-year-old girl's rape in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district. The minor's body was recovered from Rassana forest in Kathua on January 17, a week after she went missing while grazing horses in the forest area. She was held captive inside a temple, and was sedated before being raped and murdered.
