Shimla: A candlelight vigial was taken out by the residents of Shimla Wednesday to express solidarity with the family of four-year-old Yug, whose skeletal remains were recently recovered after being kidnapped two years ago.

Activists of Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) unit of ABVP also took out a candle march from the Vice Chancellor office to Summer Hill Chowk protesting against the killing and raised questions on the working of police and MC.

The district unit of BJP led by vice President Rajiv Sood also lodged their protest against the gruesome killing and failure of the police to take prompt action and also the failure on the part of Municipal Corporation to ensure supply of clean water to residents.
