In a demonstration of solidarity and outrage, Ludhiana chapter of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) organised a protest at Aarti Chowk, Ludhiana, demanding swift justice for the RG Kar Hospital, Kolkata, rape victim. The protest saw a significant turnout of students from various colleges and universities across Ludhiana, reflecting the widespread unrest among the youth over the heinous crime.

The demonstrators lit diyas in front of the victim’s photograph as a symbol of their support. Addressing the protesters, ABVP State Secretary Manmeet Sohal emphasised the organisation’s unwavering commitment to securing justice for the youth.

We demand prompt and decisive action,” Vaid said.
