Youth in Hyderabad organised a candle march on Saturday to protest and condemn the incident of rape of a nine-month-old girl in Warangal district.
"It is very sad that a 9-month-old girl was raped in Warangal District. Condemning the incident we have today taken out a candle rally here in Ashok Nagar. The accused should be hanged till death," Naresh, the organiser of the rally told ANI.
