A candle-light protest will be held at Marine Drive here on Thursday in protest against the alleged delay in finding those responsible for the rape and murder of the Dalit law student in Perumbavoor. About 3,000 candles will be lit on the occasion against what the organisers termed as the laxity on the part of the police in cracking the case. A release issued by the action council for justice for the Dalit student urged society to wake up against the attacks on women.
Representatives of the council accused the police of not conducting a proper investigation. Those responsible for the lapses in the initial round of investigation should be punished, they said.
