City Youth Congress general secretary Dheeraj Pandey informed that around 40-50 party workers attended the protest. Accompanying him were other general secretaries of city youth congress Ashish Pandey and Kamal Haryani along with other office bearers under different assembly constituencies in the city.
Pandey informed that they are planning to take the delegation to Mumbai in order to seek extra measures for safety of women in Maharashtra while Central Government bring in provision for intense punishments for such rarest of the rare crimes.
The party also demanded that all the six culprits be hanged in public so that other offenders may think ten times before committing such a heinous act.
