Hathras | ‘If they haven’t done anything wrong...’: Shiv Sena MP slams UP govt

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut slammed Uttar Pradesh government and police over the Hathras case. Raut said that the media should be allowed to visit the village to bring out facts. “I don't know why the media was not allowed to enter Hathras. Media was forced to cover when an actor's illegal office was demolished. However, this case involves the rape and murder of a girl. They are not letting anyone speak to the victim's family members. If the government hasn't done anything wrong, the media should be allowed to visit the village and bring out the facts,” the Shiv Sena MP said. A 19-year-old girl was allegedly gangraped in Hathras on September 14. The girl succumbed to her injuries on September 29, leading to nationwide protests. The family of the victim had accused UP police of performing her last rites without their consent. The state government had imposed Section 144 in Hathras and the entry in the village was banned.
