Following the incident, various organisations, including students and women's bodies, in Tripura staged protests on Thursday and demanded stringent action against the accused.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that "unequals can't be treated equally" while telling that the plight of Bilkis Bano, who was gangraped and her family members were murdered during the 2002 Godhra riots, can't be compared to murder of single person.
This has come days after the parents of the 2012 Chhawla gangrape victim met Delhi LG VK Saxena and requested him to file a review petition against the acquittal of all three accused.
