Hundreds of candles were lit beside a dummy representing the victim. Arya Samaj members performed a “havan” - prayer by fire - for peace for the departed soul. Some groups called for Jan 3 as “protest day”.
As the protests went on, candle sellers, snack kiosks and tea vendors did brisk business.
“It is sad she had to pay the price of being a woman, but these protests will not die and she will get justice,” said Jyoti, a banker who joined the protest with her friends.
