Child rape case: Fresh protests in capital, traffic disrupted

April 22, 2013 12:58

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.
