Two hundred locals, including children and elderly, gathered at district headquarters Parasi and chanted slogans demanding the government execute the culprit, take action against those promoting superstitions and put an end to impunity.

They also staged a two-hour sit-in protest in front of District Police Office and District Administration Office pressing for stern action against the chief culprit Kodai Harijan and his 10 other accomplices.

The disgruntled locals demanded death penalty for the perpetrator saying that the murder was of different nature.

Likewise, they also demanded the administration take necessary action to search another 14-year old Punarwasi Harijan, also known as Chhora Magaru, of Marchahawa, who went missing a year ago.
