Since the police stopped the rally, the protestors blocked the road for a while and shouted many slogans demanding befitting punishments for the culprits.
One of the protestors named RK Tombisana Devi while speaking to media persons claimed that 'Bidya was allegedly murdered after meting out torturous treatment by her husband and his family members' .
