Members of Sikh Youth Federation taking out acandle light vigil in Amritsar on Friday againstMoga molestation case.

The relatives of the girl, who got killed after being molested and thrown off a moving bus owned by Badal family, have refused to perform her last rites, two days after the incident. The incident has provoked public outrage with the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, besides farmers and rights groups taking to the streets in Punjab and Delhi.

Attempts by the State authorities to persuade the bereaved family to cremate her proved futile when it rejected a compensation of Rs. 20 lakh, a government job for her mother, who too was molested and pushed out of the bus, her free treatment and holding trial of the case in a fast track court. The family is insisting that the owners of the bus, Orbit Aviation, be booked in connection with the offence and its road permits cancelled. — PTI
