The Congress has been attacking the UP government over the issue of alleged rise in crimes against women, particularly after the Hathras incident.

"The UP government claims that the journalist has links with some groups but has not offered any proof in this regard."

The total number of active cases was 570 now. The city reported 59 fresh cases in the last 24 hours.

UP CM said that his government was "determined to ensure the harshest punishment" for those guilty in the entire incident

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".

The 19-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly gang-raped at a village in Hathras on September 14. After her condition deteriorated, she was referred to the Delhi's Safdarjung hospital where she breathed her last on Tuesday.

Joint Magistrate Prem Prakash Meena refuted allegations that the administration had confined the victim's family and confiscated their phones.

It will be a bigger offence if Hathras and Balrampur cases end up as just another set of cold statistics
