Protests continued today demanding the arrest and punishment of the culprits who allegedly raped a woman and threw her out of a vehicle leading to her death in Lakhimpur district.

Women's organisations, locals and the All Assam Students Union members staged a two-hour demonstration in front of the Boganadi police station from noon demanding the arrest and punishment of the anti-socials.

Asserting that the 24-hour deadline given on November 25 by the district administration to nab the assailants had elapsed, the protesters demanded that the police should unravel the clues if it was a case of murder or should make a detailed probe to know how such an incident occurred, if it was an accident case.

And if it was a case of rape, the protesters demanded that the culprits be nabbed and "hanged".
