Hathras victim

In a recent case of alleged rape and murder of two minors, a UP police officer revealed the names of the victims, violating a Supreme Court order against such acts. Many news outlets also published the names.

The Delhi High Court has directed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to look into the complaint of a petitioner alleging that a photograph of his deceased wife is being wrongly circulated on social media platforms depicting her as the Hathras tragedy victim.

The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court today recorded the statements of the victim's family and officers accused of negligence in the Hathras murder case.

The Uttar Pradesh government has filed an affidavit with the Supreme Court, in which it has claimed that permission was taken from the family of the Hathras victim before cremation. The government has also claimed that the families in question “had personal enmity since a long time.”
