Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s (ABVP) National General Secretary Nidhi Tripathi, and 40 other ABVP workers were arrested today, after protesting in front of Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin’s house, demanding Justice for Lavanya. This comes at a time when the SC just upheld the HC’s decision to transfer the probe to the CBI.
In a video, when the Press is asking her why she’s protesting, even after the Supreme Court’s verdict, she said, “Yes, but now the Government is not cooperating with the CBI. They’re also not cooperating with the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). Why are they not cooperating? They have to cooperate with both NCPCR and the CBI.”

When asked for a message to the Tamil Nadu government, Nidhi said, “We have only one question, Lavanya’s father is a member of the DMK for the past 25 years. But till now, they’re unable to deliver justice to their own cadres. What can we expect from them?”

The ABVP workers and Nidhi Tripathi are seen literally carried to the police cars for detaining them. Even then they keep raising the slogan “Justice for Lavanya”. Earlier this week, Nidhi Tripathi ad written a letter to the CM, subject of which was, “Lavanya’s Second Murder”. She had pointed out the insensitivity of the Tamil Nadu government towards the case, and also the lack of cooperation.
