The Hindu
Protests demanding hanging of the accused continue; locals say they don’t want to politicise incident
Two days after a nine-year-old girl was allegedly cremated against parents’ consent inside a cremation ground, and a priest and three others arrested on charges of rape and murder, protest demanding the hanging of the accused continued in south-west Delhi’s Nangal area on Tuesday. As the road in cantonment area from both sides towards Nangal village was blocked by protesters, the girl’s mother lay semi-conscious while the father sat amid a crowd. Both were clearly overwhelmed by the situation. Nearby, on a stage, locals kept blaring that “this is not a political incident… we just want justice for our daughter… those who have come here for political gains should refrain from being a part”.More Related News
