State VHP organising secretary, Manoj Kumar demanded that culprits be immediately arrested, brought to justice and awarded capital punishment. “If the case is not investigated properly and culprits are not awarded capital punishment, the crime against women would escalate in the state and the image of Himachal, known as ‘Dev Bhumi’ would be sullied,” he said.

The SFI campus unit of HPU also protested against the alleged rape today and said despite the family members of the victim urging the principal of the college for registration of case against the accused, no action was taken.
