CHENNAI: Traffic was hit on RK Salai on Thursday from 10.30 am to 11 am after members of the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) protested near the DGP office demanding police to expedite trial in the Kallakuruchi case and slap sections of the POCSO Act on the suspects.
They also wanted the cops to move court for cancelling bail granted to the suspects.
