Student wings of the Congress party staged a candle march in New Delhi on Thursday, urging authorities to expedite the trial and sentencing of the accused in a recent rape case.
On Thursday, the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) and the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) organized a candle march at a prominent location in New Delhi. The demonstration was timed to draw public attention to the pending case of a rape victim whose trial has been delayed.
The participants walked with lit candles, chanting slogans that called for swift legal action against the alleged perpetrators. Organisers emphasized that the victim's family has been waiting for justice for months and that a prompt verdict is essential to uphold the rule of law.
While no official statement from the Delhi police was released at the time, the march highlighted growing public pressure on law‑enforcement agencies to prioritize the case. The IYC and NSUI reiterated their commitment to supporting victims of sexual violence and to holding authorities accountable for any procedural lapses.
The event concluded without any incidents, and organisers urged citizens to continue demanding accountability and faster judicial processes for all such crimes.
