Hang the sex racket accused to death: DeM

Srinagar, June 23: The activists of Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) today staged a massive demonstration in the lower court complex when the bail application of four accused in the sex racket came up for hearing in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate.

As soon as the CJM started hearing the bail application of two former minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir, Raman Mattoo, ex-additional Advocate General Anil Sethi and Deputy Inspector General of Border Security Force (BSF) K S Padhi, the DeM activists started shouting slogans against the accused who were not present in the court.

When the court fixed July one as next date of hearing and referred the bail applications to Divisional Bench, the slogan shouting intensified, demanding death penalty to all the accused.

Later, the DeM activists left the court premises and marched through historic Lal Chowk demanding arrest of other accused.

Meanwhile, the Valley Citizens Council (VCC) has demanded that both the former tainted ministers booked in the sex racket be disqualified from the Legislative Assembly.

Demanding immediate arrest of other accused in the racket, the VCC urged Congress and Peoples Democratic Forum to expel Mir and Matto from their parties immediately.
