Anand is going for another trial Aug 31, where he might be convicted for lifetime.

'I don't have that much time. If the government doesn't come forward, then it would be responsible for hurting and losing three people (Anand and his mother and sister),' she said.

Sanjana threatened to go on a hunger strike if her plea was not heeded to.

'I will go on a hunger strike if the government doesn't listen to any of my pleas. I wouldn't be here if I didn't know that my brother was innocent,' Sanjana maintained.

Designers Leena Singh, Samanth Chauhan, Charu Parashar were present to show solidarity.

'I am here to support Sanjana. We are not here to give our opinion about what is right and what is wrong but as a part of fashion fraternity,' Parashar told IANS.

Agreeing with her, Chauhan said: 'We all are a part of a family and Anand was someone who made it really big in the international fashion scene. What has happened to him can happen to any of us. We just want to tell him that we all are with him.'

Jon was convicted by the Los Angeles Superior Court in November on 16 criminal counts, including sexually assaulting some budding models.
