The victim died in a hospital in Aurangabad on Wednesday. The accused in the case are still absconding.
Leading the protest NCP leader Supriya Sule told media, "We demand that the inquiry should be conducted properly in this case. We demand an SIT-led investigation in this case. We will not rest until the deceased's family gets justice."
Hitting out at the Maharashtra government, Sule added, "This government is insensitive towards such incidents."
