The protesters marched to 10, Janpath - Gandhi's residence - from Jantar Mantar after a demonstration there and sat holding candles and shouting slogans against the government and demanding immediate action in the rape case.
The protesters demanded that the rapists of the 23-year-old girl be immediately hanged claiming that their guilt has been proved already.

Several groups also held candle light vigil at the India Gate here to express solidarity with the victim.
