GUNA: Local people and relatives of a Dalit minor girl, who was gangraped and killed in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna, held a protest here on Monday demanding justice.
A relative of the victim told ANI, “If the culprit is not arrested within two days, we will call a mass agitation here.”
Irked relatives and locals shouted slogans on the road against police inaction.
The victim's family alleged that the police did not take cognizance of the case even after accused Vishal Jadon was named.
