Posters seeking capital punishment for the six culprits involved in the
crime have been pasted on many roadside walls and buildings.
The candlelight procession, which was organized by the university and collage students of Silchar, started from the statute of martyr Kshudiram Bose at 5 pm during the day and moved through the main streets of the town. The students, who were carrying banners and posters, decried the government for its highhandedness in dealing with the ongoing protests in different places of Delhi.
"There's presence of a large number of students from the northeast in Delhi and they are often subjected to molestation and other harassments by goons. NE students enjoy little security and justice in such cases. We demand a halt to such incidents and a suitable atmosphere for security of students in Delhi coming from across the country," said Rupali, a student of GC College, who joined the protest. "We will help spread the agitation against the brutal rape of a paramedic in Delhi throughout the country. We will not stop until the authorities pronounce capital punishment of the six rapists," said Ashok, a student of AU.
