Delhi rape: Protestors at AIIMS, demand action

April 20, 2013 17:20

Protests over the rape of a five- year-old girl erupted in Delhi today with people staging demonstrations at various places in the capital including the residences of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and the Police Headquarters.

Demonstrations were also held at AIIMS where the girl is undergoing treatment and outside the Gandhi Nagar police station where policemen allegedly showed laxity in dealing with the case.

The protests started in the morning with a small crowd at Police Headquarters demanding stringent action against policemen, but as the day progressed, it grew to a few hundreds.

The demonstrators tried to enter the PHQ at regular intervals by breaking the barricades but a heavy posse of security personnel stationed there prevented them. Activists of BJP, CPI-M, CPI, AAP, AISF, AIYF, SFI, ABVP and other organisations were part of the protest.

There were protests at AIIMS also.
