Kumarganj rape: BJP takes out protest rally after court permission

Demanding maximum punishment for the perpetrators of the Kumarganj minor girl’s rape and murder, the BJP on Friday took out a protest rally here after securing permission for the march through a court order. The rallyists decried the “deteriorating law and order situation” and the continuing incidents of rape in the state, as they took a circular route from Nandan Cultural Complex to Birla Planetarium before coming back to Nandan. “We want maximum punishment for the culprits, we demand exemplary punishment for the culprits,” said a banner at the forefront of the rally besides asking “error ar koto” (how many more now).” State BJP General Secretary Raju Banerjee, party’s state Mahila Morcha chief Locket Chatterjee, fashion designer Agnimitra Pal and other leaders led the well-attended rally.
