The protestors who had gathered in front of the DC office shouted slogans against the police Department and District Administration and later submitted memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner.
The protestors demanded that all cases of unnatural deaths reported in Dharmasthala over the years should be probed and that it was not proper to hush up the case owing to political pressure. Pointing out that justice was delivered in the Delhi gang rape case within nine months, they said even Sowjanya should get Justice at the earliest.
