Hundreds of people blocked the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway Pune to protest the rape and murder of a four-year-old girl, which led to traffic disruptions on the busy route for about four hours.
Family members of the girl and other protesters placed the body on the road in the Navale Bridge area on Saturday (May 2, 2026) evening and demanded severe punishment for the 65-year-old man arrested in the case.
Several videos have emerged showing a huge traffic jam on the highway.
