Radhika Tanwar, a DU student, was shot dead on March 08, while she was crossing the foot over-bridge near Satya Niketan. Radhika, who took a bullet on her spinal cord below her neck, collapsed and died within minutes. For a shocked minute, nobody reacted. A beat police constable, Sanoj Kumar, and one of Radhika’s college mates, Aditya Singh were the first ones to react. While Aditya tried to chase the assailant, the police constable stopped a three-wheeler. Radhika was rushed to the nearby Safdarjung Hospital, where she was declared brought dead.
Hundreds of students of the Delhi University staged a protest on Wednesday against the murder of the second-year Bachelor of Arts (BA) student Radhika Tanwar outside Ram Lal Anand College.
“I feel shameful of the people who have been just walking down here and just being spectator here and doing nothing,” said a protester.
During the protests, students blocked traffic near Delhi University north campus besides burning the effigy of crime. A number of students participated in the protest. Meanwhile Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit rued the indifferent attitude of the passers-by when Radhika was shot dead and asked the civil society to speak up and not remain mute spectators to such incidents.
