Protests at Jantar Mantar Swaraj Abhiyan to protest at Jantar Mantar at 5:30pm tomorrow (Sunday,Oct 11) to ensure ‪#‎JusticeForSaurabh‬

- Nationwide protests to be held in 19 cities simultaneously.

Saurabh Kumar, 31, an engineer with Indian Railways was murdered by goons of railway mafia. His only fault was that he didn't compromise with his honesty. Saurabh refused to bend down before corruption and rejected the bribe offered to him. The young engineer from BIT Sindri also rejected the tender, even after immense pressure on him.

Saurabh had to pay with his life as price of honesty. He was found murdered in his railways quarters on September 22nd. The police initially refused to lodge an FIR claiming that it was a case of snake bite. Only after pressure of a social media campaign, the police lodged an FIR after 10 days but justice still eludes the departed engineer.

Swaraj Abhiyan has vowed to fight for justice to the departed soul and ensure that the honest youth do not lose faith in the system.

The alumni group of BIT Sindri along with Swaraj Abhiyan volunteers will hold a Candle Light Protest at Jantar Mantar tomorrow Sunday at 5:30pm.

Swaraj Abhiyan national convenor Prof. Anand Kumar and national secretary Ajit Jha will be leading the Candle March protest. Prashant Bhushan will be speaking to the Alumni group in the evening.

Apart from New Delhi, the protests will be held simultaneously in 19 cities nationwide. The point of contact for every city is attached with this mail.
