Hathras case: A Special Investigation Team probing the alleged gang rape of a woman reached her village.
New Delhi:
A Special Investigation Team or SIT probing the alleged gang rape and torture in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras of a young Dalit woman, who died last week, reached her village this morning. The probe panel, formed by the Yogi Adityanath government visited the site of the crime and will submit its report tomorrow.
The Supreme Court will hear a PIL (public interest litigation) today asking for a CBI or SIT probe – that will be headed by a former judge of either the top court or a high court – into the alleged gang rape and murder of a 20-year-old Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras last month. The PIL, filed by social activist Satyama Dubey and others, says a “fair” investigation is needed and points to inaction on the part of UP Police, which has come under fire for its handling of the case, confrontations with opposition leaders and a secretive 2.30 am cremation of the body. A three-member bench led by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and including Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian will hear the PIL via video-conferencing.
Here are the updates on Hathras case:
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday accused the BJP of using the incident of the alleged rape of two minor sisters from Rajasthan’s Baran district to divert attention from the Hathras gang-rape case and said a comparison between the two is “totally unfair”. The state government is open to BJP leaders visiting Baran so that they know what the truth is, Ashok Gehlot told PTI.
