Anjali murder: BJP says women need protection, not guarantee schemes

Even as the two teams constituted to nab the accused in Anjali Ambiger’s murder have launched a manhunt, BJP leaders and members courted arrest while protesting against the brutal murder. They also demanded action against the “inefficient” police and demanded resignation of the Home Minister.

Nineteen-year-old Anjali Mohan Ambiger of Veerapour Oni in Hubballi was stabbed to death by a youth, identified as Girish Sawanth, at her residence on Wednesday morning.
