Anti-rape protests: Traffic restrictions eased

December 26, 2012 13:00

Police today eased traffic restrictions at India Gate and Raisina Hill, but did not lift prohibitory orders even as protests over the gang-rape of a girl calmed down. Questions were also raised over the cause of a Constable's death during demonstrations.

A journalism student Yogendra, who claimed to be an eye-witness, contradicted police version that Constable Subhash Tomar was beaten up by protesters leading to his death, saying he fell down on his own. Delhi Police declined to be drawn into the controversy with its spokesperson Rajan Bhagat saying "no comments till the post mortem report is out".
