New Delhi, Dec 21: Seething with anger, hundreds of people Friday came out on the roads waving banners, shouting slogans and waving their fists in the air, demanding justice for the 23-year-old physiotherapist who was brutally gang-raped and is battling for life.

Shouting "We want justice", hundreds of women banged at the iron gates of gate number two of Rashtrapati Bhavan to gain entry.
