Tensions ran high in Bhopal on Saturday as a crowd tried to storm the Bairagarh police station, upset over the murder of a 12-year-old girl.
People demanded swift justice, even after police arrested and obtained a confession from Mobin Khan, a 23-year-old mechanic.
The protest blocked roads and led to extra police being called in, showing just how shaken the community is by this tragedy.
