Hathrase case and outcry

A 19-year-old woman had been brutally gangraped by four in a village in Hathras on September 14. Her death on Tuesday due to injuries became a talking point, while her cremation allegedly without the consent of the family further sparked outcry. Right from top leaders, sportspersons to film stars, there were heated responses, apart from the protests held in various parts of the country.

High drama had ensued with Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra clashing with UP police after which the Congress leaders had been arrested. Before Ranvir, other celebrities from the film industry like Ravi Kishan and Vivek Agnihotri had also taken a dig at Rahul Gandhi’s ‘dive’ into the bushes during the scuffle.
