GUWAHATI: Protests were staged in Assam's Guwahati against the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor in a state-run Kolkata hospital, while AIUDF chief and former MP Badruddin Ajmal dashed off letters to the PM, home and health ministers, seeking exemplary punishment for the culprits.

The Assam unit of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) took out a candlelight procession near their office here, displaying placards and raising slogans demanding justice for the deceased doctor and her family.

“Such a crime cannot be tolerated. It is a shame that the culprits are yet to be nabbed. We demand a quick and thorough investigation, and the most stringent punishment for the culprits,” AAP leader Anurupa Dekaroja said.
