Hindu organisations staged a rally in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, calling for a bulldozer to be used against a man accused of molesting a minor. The protest highlighted community anger over the alleged offence.
Damoh, a town in Madhya Pradesh, witnessed a public rally organized by several Hindu groups on Thursday. Participants gathered outside the local police station, demanding that a bulldozer be deployed to demolish the property of a man accused of molesting a minor.
The protesters argued that the harsh measure would serve as a deterrent and convey the community's zero‑tolerance stance toward sexual offences against children. They carried placards bearing slogans that called for swift, decisive action against the accused.
Local authorities have not issued an official response to the demand, and no legal directive regarding demolition has been announced. Police officials said the matter is under investigation, but they did not comment on the rally's specific demands.
The demonstration reflects growing public frustration in the region over perceived delays in handling cases of sexual abuse involving minors. Organisers pledged to continue pressuring officials until they receive a concrete response.
