On Monday, demonstrators gathered in the Laddoo police station area and blocked the Ambala‑Chandigarh highway, demanding the arrest of a 50‑year‑old RMP doctor accused of repeatedly raping a 19‑year‑old girl. The protestors, many of whom were relatives and community members of the victim, held signs and chanted slogans calling for justice. The blockade caused significant traffic congestion, forcing commuters to detour through alternate routes. Police officials have been deployed to manage the crowd and restore traffic flow, but the protest continues as the demand for the doctor's arrest remains firm.
