  "summary": "A 12-year-old girl's rape and murder in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, has sparked massive outrage and a massive protest, causing a two-kilometer traffic jam. Members of Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), and local residents staged the protest, demanding capital punishment for the suspect, Moin. The protesters blocked Bhopal-Sehore Road, disrupting traffic and causing widespread inconvenience. The post-mortem report revealed sexual assault and strangulation, while CCTV footage showed the suspect taking the girl with him and returning alone. Moin, a 23-year-old married man addicted to whitener and drugs, admitted to the crime during questioning. Police have deployed additional forces to prevent the situation from escalating and have assured strict action.",
