Rajawat's desperation to save her government accommodation is seen from a tweet in which she complained of harassment at the hands of "concerned officials". 

Facing harassment at the hands of concerned officials, as I am being forced to vacate govt accommodation given in June 2018.
Had, I been having means to do it, I would have done it without their telling me. Seeking indulgence of higher ups..

Mufti, who will soon be getting a notice to evacuate her government accommodation herself with Governor Satya Pal Malik having decided to dissolve the Assembly, came to the rescue of Rajawat. 

Mufti tweeted: "How strange- a young woman who stood against the storm of barbarity to defend the little girl is being forced to vacate the govt accommodation. Much needed intervention by HE @jandkgovernor for her safety and security."

Rajawat also sought the help of veteran journalist Shekhar Gupta. This is not the first time that Rajawat has tried to influence journalists of a certain ideology and use them as a shield against hard-hitting questions.
