Agencies
New Delhi, Dec 25: The protests over the brutal gangrape of a 23-year-old paramedical student in a moving bus in the national capital continued today despite it being Christmas holiday. As the protesters remained undeterred by the steps taken by the administration, the Delhi Police earlier detained as many as 12 girls who defied the police and tried to break through barricades, even as the Congress core group reviewed the situation in the national capital. Following the meeting, sources said that the government was ready to speak to the protesters.
The protests today, however, was much thinner than that on previous days after the reports of the death of a police constable, who was injured during the clashes between the protesters and the police at India Gate. Also, nine metro stations, including busy ones like Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk and Central Secretariat, remained shut for the third day in a row to stop the protesters from gathering in large numbers.
This even as the gangrape survivor continued her battle for life at the Safdarjung Hospital with doctors saying that though her condition was better than that on Monday, she was still not out of danger. According to the doctors, her blood count was normal even as her liver function was also stable.
The Congress core group on Tuesday met to discuss and review the situation in the national capital in the wake of the protests.
The doctors further said that the survivor was alert and communication even as her internal bleeding had reduced remarkably. Though she continues to be on ventilator, the support of it has been reduced drastically.
Amidst these, which Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar countered the charges of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit over interference with the SDM recording the statement of the survivor, Aam Aadmi Party founder Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the police was framing his party for the death of constable Tomar. |
