SAD demands SC monitored inquiry into Hathras rape tragedy
Chandigarh, October 3 – Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal today demanded a Supreme court monitored inquiry into the Hathras rape tragedy and its mishandling by the Uttar Pradesh government.
Talking to newsmen here, the SAD President said the Uttar Pradesh government had discriminated against the victim family by forcefully conducting the last rites of the rape victim without the consent of her family. “Even as the SAD condemns this action, we demand dismissal of all police and civil officers responsible for this heinous act. Transfers and suspension is not enough. An exemplary example must be set or else Dalits will lose faith in the government”. EOM
