"hathras-incident"

The police have registered an FIR under IPC sections 376 (rape), 302 (murder) and also under the POCSO Act against an unidentified person.

The victim's brother has been brought to the incident site where the CBI team is carrying out the investigation.

KC Venugopal said that the "brutal gangrape and murder of a Dalit girl" from Hathras in Uttar Pradesh has shaken the conscience of the nation.

The Congress leader said that according to the family, the Hathras DM meted out the worst treatment to them, and asked who was protecting the officer.

Talking to local reporters in Balliya, the BJP MLA said neither governance nor use of weapons can prevent such crimes.

There is a nationwide outrage over the gang-rape and murder of the 19-year-old Dalit girl who fought grievous injuries for a fortnight before dying on September 29.

The Union Minister further said, "Rahul Gandhi has always strived to do politics, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been successful in the realm of national policies".

Calling for a people's movement to break "this mindset" of violence, Satyarthi said “we need both compassionate political will and people's action” to bring an end to the culture of rape.

According to party spokesperson Anshu Awasthi, police personnel have been stationed outside Lallu's house here and he is not being allowed to venture outside.

On Thursday, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi along with several party leaders were detained by the police and sent back to Delhi, after they tried to reach Hathras to meet the family of the Dalit woman.

We demand an FIR against the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police of Hathras, Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav said.

A case has been registered against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and over 200 others, according to the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police.

Narayanasamy had condemned the police action against Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadras as a clear "exposure of the Jungle Raj and Hitler Raj in UP."
