| [ARABNEWS] Police on Sunday fired water canon at demonstrators rallying in the Indian capital against the failure to provide better safety for women after a teen was allegedly stabbed to death. Dozens of angry protesters, mainly from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi tried to break through and jump over barricades erected around the police headquarters over the alleged murder of a 19-year-old girl last week. The victim's family says she was stabbed to death in their central Delhi neighborhood after trying to avoid being harassed by two men late last Thursday. The eleventh grader was stabbed 35 times, according to local media. The Delhi government has accused the police of abetting the killing by "inaction," saying they had never registered several complaints the victim filed against the perpetrators -- two brothers from the locality -- since 2013. |
