Uttar Pradesh govt committed to safety, security of all women: CM Yogi Adityanath on Hathras horror

The Uttar Pradesh government is committed to safety, security of all women, chief minister Yogi Adityanath tweeted on Friday. The statement comes in light of the Hathras rape. 

The 19-year-old woman succumbed to the severe injuries she suffered when she was allegedly assaulted by four upper-caste men – later arrested — in the fields at her village in Hathras district on September 14.

She was cremated in Hathras in the dead of the night with family members saying they were not allowed to bring the body home one last time. But police claimed they had the family’s consent for the cremation.
