A youth was killed in Udaipur, prompting his family to stage a six‑day protest demanding the arrest of the perpetrators, alleging police failure to act.
The body of a young man was found in Udaipur earlier this month, sparking outrage among his relatives. The family has been holding a continuous sit‑in outside the local police station for six days, pressing authorities to identify and apprehend the suspects.
According to the protesters, the police investigation has stalled and no arrests have been made despite the family's repeated appeals. They allege procedural lapses and claim that the case is being deliberately delayed.
Local officials have said they are reviewing the complaint and have promised to expedite the inquiry, but the family remains skeptical and has refused to accept any settlement without concrete action.
The protest has drawn attention from nearby residents and civic groups, who have expressed solidarity with the grieving family while urging the police to act swiftly.
No further details about the motive or identity of the alleged killers have been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
