Over 25,000 people have joined the Amnesty International India’s campaign for an independent and transparent investigation into the alleged police inaction related to the rape and murder of a law student at Perumbavoor.

“Over the past two weeks, thousands of Amnesty International India members and supporters have joined hands to voice their concerns about the way in which the police responded to the case,” women’s rights programme manager of Amnesty International India Rekha Raj told a press conference here.

The organisation activists met Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and handed over a petition in this regard.
