Youth belonging to ABVP and Hindu Jagarana Vedike took to the streets across Belthangady taulk for the second consecutive day on Friday and threatened to continue their agitation if police failed to solve the case immediately.
The students of Ujire based SDM College, where the victim was studying, staged a silent protest. Leftist organisations like CPI (M), DYFI, CFI and Janavadi Mahila Sanghatane also staged protest.
Members of outfits like Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Mahila Mandali, Jayakarnataka Students' Cell submitted memorandum to the superintendent of police of Dakshina Kannada urging to speed up the investigation.
The protests also spread to Mangalore as a large number of students under the banner of ABVP blocked road by forming a human chain at KPT Circle to express their anger over the incident and to grab the attention of the police.
Addressing the students, ABVP District Secretary Ramesh said that the brutal rape and murder of an innocent girl has instilled permanent fear in the minds of girls who come from remote villages to study. “Thousands of girls travel from rural areas to towns and cities every day to pursue their education. The incident has shattered their self-confidence”, he said.
