Mysore : The Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP)  staged a protest in the city on Sunday July 20   demanding stringent laws to nail culprits in cases of crime against women.

The protestors demanded immediate steps to check the spurt in cases of atrocities on women and urged the authorities to take immediate steps to arrest and initiate strict action against those involved in the recent cases of sexual assault on young women and also a minor in the state.

Strongly condemning the Pulakeshinagar incident wherein a post graduate female student was sexually assaulted right in the presence of her male friend in a car, the ABVP  demanded that the prime  accused Nasir Hyder be ‘hanged’ and the other accused sentenced for life.
