A rally was organised in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh by a coalition of Hindu organisations demanding that a bulldozer be run over the individual accused of molesting a minor. The protesters gathered near the town centre, brandishing placards that called for immediate, harsh punishment of the alleged offender.
The demand also referenced the accused's alleged encroachment of land, with demonstrators urging authorities to use a bulldozer to demolish the illegal structure and to make an example of the suspect. No official statement from the police or local administration was released at the time of the rally.
Local law‑enforcement officials declined to comment on whether any legal action would be taken in line with the protesters' demands, emphasizing that any punitive measure must follow due process under the law.
