Child rape case: Fresh protests in capital, traffic disrupted
April 22, 2013
Protesters gathered at Delhi Police Headquarters for the third day today demanding removal of Commissioner Neeraj Kumar and justice for the five-year-old rape victim even as police put up barricades to prevent December-like protests near Parliament where traffic was disrupted.


Three Metro stations -- Race Course Road, Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhavan -- close to Parliament, India Gate and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's residence were closed for public anticipating anti-rape protests.


The measures came against the backdrop of re-convening of the Budget session today. However, in the morning hours, AIIMS did not witness any protest like in the past three days.
