Hathras case 

A 19-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped by four men in a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras on September 14. She succumbed to her injuries on September 29 at the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi. Apart from the alleged horrific crime, her cremation allegedly without the permission of her family in the wee hours of September 30, led to a nationwide outcry. 

However, the Hathras Police had denied that the woman had been raped, citing the autopsy report. 

The four accused have been arrested, with the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath government ordering an SIT team, as well as filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the incident.  Apart from strong messages from celebrities, protests were conducted by Opposition parties like Congress and Samajwadi Party, among others, with the ones involving Rahul Gandhi-Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Derek O’Brien seeing the chaotic turn of events.
