The Hathras gang-rape case
The 19-year-old Dalit woman died at a Delhi hospital on Tuesday morning, days after being raped by four men in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh, a senior police officer said. The woman was shifted to the hospital in Delhi from Aligarh on Monday after her condition showed no signs of improvement.
She was gang-raped on September 14 following which she was admitted to the AMU's Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital in Aligarh. The accused had also tried to strangulate her to death as she resisted their attempt and in the process, she had also ended up biting her tongue and suffering a severe cut on it. The four accused have already been arrested.
Here are the actors' tweets:

The little girl aged just 19 was gang raped and sadly she has succumbed to death. The accused are in custody. I am broken and all I ask for is immediate justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. Let's take some time to pray for the girl. #HangTheRapists #RIPManishaValmiki
