‘It has been more than a week since the incident but it is still not known whether the girl was beaten up by a single person or she was gang-raped… Such a heinous crime has been committed against a doctor when she was on duty in the hospital.

They should be punished immediately.’ This is the pain of Nirbhaya’s mother Asha Devi. She demands that the accused should be caught as soon as possible.
