Ludhiana, July 31

Members of the local women’s wing of the Congress staged a protest at Samrala Chowk, demanding death sentence for Unnao rape case accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.

City Congress wing president Leena Tapariya demanded that the hearing in the case should be held in Delhi under the supervision of Supreme Court rather than Lucknow. She blamed the UP Government for creating “Jungle Raj” and poor law and order situation in the state.

The car crash in Uttar Pradesh had left the rape survivor critically wounded and two of her relatives dead. Leena Tapariya said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should come forward to support the victim so that death sentence be awarded to the accused.
