This is the first visit of the Congress Vice President outside his Parliamentary constituency Amethi in Uttar Pradesh after the party's debacle in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
Pressing for a CBI probe into the incident, the family of the victims today said it was more gruesome than the December 16 gangrape case and demanded that the culprits be hanged publicly.
"We want justice and not compensation. The manner in which the entire world saw our innocent girls hanging, we want that in the same manner it should watch the culprits being hanged. They should be hanged publicly," said the father of one of the girls.
The incident had triggered protests in the area with villagers alleging police apathy, following which an FIR was registered against seven persons.
