On the fateful day of March 20, 2000, a group of masked armed men wearing Army fatigues had entered Chittisinghpura village and killed 36 Sikhs in cold blood
Six men were accused of gang-raping and murdering the 23-year-old medical student, who came to be called Nirbhaya. Of the six, four were convicted, one was a juvenile, who got convicted by the juvenile justice board.
The Superintendent of Police has said that this is an attempt to fume the community as the pamphlets were carrying objectionable content that may result in communal clashes.
