The drivers put up boards with messages displayed on the dashboard of the vehicles while some put up red flags on the cars.
Nakul Sau, vice president of CITU’s app cab state unit, said, “Drivers and owners of various app cabs, cutting across political affiliations, took part in the rally by suspending their trips for two hours. We demand speedy justice for the sister who was tortured and murdered at her workplace. We demand strictest punishment for all those involved in the heinous crime.”
“All the app cab drivers have been shattered by the incident. So many women passengers take our vehicles alone or with family. We demand a safe and secure environment for them,” he added.
Meanwhile, over 200 alumni of Jadavpur University took out a rally from the varsity’s main gate to Golpark demanding a speedy investigation into the case, arrest of those involved and a fast-track trial.
