Police and administration [ edit ]

When the news broke out initially through social media, Agra Police, Hathras District Magistrate, and UP's Part of a series on
Information & Public Relations called it "fake news".[32][33][34] Later, a senior UP Police officer claimed that
Discrimination
no sperm was found in samples as per forensic report and that some people had "twisted" the incident to
stir "caste-based tension." The officer also said that the forensic report revealed that the victim was not
raped.[35] However, critics have alleged this evidence is unreliable, citing guidelines that state swabs to test
for sperm should only be taken if the assault might have occurred in the previous three days. After three to
four days, swabs should be taken to test only for semen, not for sperm. Kumar also stated that the forensic Forms [show]
report had found "no semen or semen excretion"; a retired officer quoted by the BBC criticized that "Police [show]

Countermeasures

On 3 October, the state government suspended five police officers including the Superintendent of Related topics [show]
Police.[38] · ·

The Wire and others reported that the Uttar Pradesh government employed Concept PR, a Mumbai public
relations firm. The PR firm allegedly sent out press releases (on behalf of the government) stating that the Hathras teenager was not raped. The press
releases also alluded to a conspiracy to push the state of Uttar Pradesh into caste turmoil.[39][40]

On 4 October, Yogi Adityanath recommended a CBI probe.[41] The victim's family was not in favour of the CBI investigation and wanted a judicial probe to
be conducted in the case.[42] However, the CBI began its investigation on 10 October, amid nationwide outrage, after notification from central
government.[43][44][45]

The Uttar Pradesh government claimed a "deep rooted conspiracy"[46] and an "international plot" to incite caste based riots in Hathras and defame the
Yogi government.[47] Nineteen FIRs have been filed by the Uttar Pradesh police in the aftermath of the alleged gang rape. The charges listed by police
on the main FIR include inciting caste based divides, religious discrimination, doctoring electronic evidence, a conspiracy against the state and
defamation.[46] Yogi Adityanath had earlier asked his party workers to "expose those who want to incite caste and communal riots".[48] UP Police
detained 4 men, including a Delhi-based journalist Sidheeq Kappan under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, for their alleged link to Popular Front of
India PFI, on Mathura Toll Plaza, while on their way to the village.[49][50][51] The administration alleged that the men were on their way to Hathras for
inciting caste and communal violence.[52]

Arrests and compensation [ edit ]

Hathras police have arrested the four accused — Sandeep, Ramu, Lavkush and Ravi — on charges of attempt to murder, gang rape[3] and violations of
the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.[4] One of the accused, Ravi, and his father had been arrested 15–20
years ago for allegedly assaulting the victim's grandfather.[13] The victim's brother claimed that no arrest was made in the first 10 days of the incident.[20]
SSP Vikrant Vir had transferred the SHO of Chandpa police station to police lines for failing to promptly act in the case.[53] The State government, Yogi
Adityanath and district administration announced a compensation of ₹2.5 million (US$31,000) to the victim's family and a junior assistant job for a family
member. Apart from this, the family will also be allotted a house in Hathras under State Urban Development Agency (SUDA) scheme.[54][55]

Claims of the accused [ edit ]

The main accused, Sandeep Thakur, who is in jail along with the three others, has written a letter to the police in Hathras, claiming that he and the 20-
year-old girl were "friends", who "apart from meeting, used to speak on the phone once in a while"; further claiming that her family was against their
friendship, and they killed her.[56][57] The UP police has claimed that call records show that the woman's family knew the main accused, Sandeep
Thakur.[57] As per the Call Detail Report released, around 100 phone calls were made from a phone number registered in the name of the girl's brother
and the main accused Sandeep Thakur between October 2019 and March 2020.[58]

Reactions [ edit ]

The case and its subsequent handling has received widespread media attention and condemnation from across the country, and was the subject of
protests against the Yogi Adityanath government by activists and opposition.[9]

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and general secretary Priyanka Gandhi were accosted and detained by police in the state of Uttar Pradesh as
they attempted to make their way to the village of the victim on foot after their vehicles had been stopped by officers on the motorway.[59][60] BSP
supremo and former CM Mayawati demanded resignation of Chief Minister Yogi stating him as an incapable to protecting Dalits in Uttar Pradesh, she
further asserted that he should oversee newly built Ram Mandir, Ayodhya or join his Gorakhnath Math.[61]

According to some media reports, a group calling itself "Rashtriya Savarna Parishad" came out in support of the accused.[62] The involvement of the
police was also implicitly found in various media reports.[10] Another media report stated that an outfit called 'National Sawarna Council' visited the
Superintendent of Police and filed a memorandum alleging the family of the victim girl to be involved in implication of the innocent people.[63] A day after
the police forcibly cremated the body of the rape victim, Chandrashekhar Azad the president of Bhim Army (a Dalit-rights organisation based in Uttar
Pradesh) was placed under house arrest for staging a protest against the government demanding justice for the victim.[64][65]

On 3 October 2020, Indian National Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra visited the victim's family. This was dismissed by the
BJP as a "political stunt".[41]

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal demanded execution of the accused.[41]

On October 2, BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya tweeted a video of the 19-year-old victim, which showed her face,[66][67] allegedly in contravention of
Section 228A of the Indian Penal Code. Similarly, Tamil Nadu's BJP IT cell head CTR Nirmal Kumar posted a video of the 19-year-old Dalit woman with
insensitive remark, that clearly revealed the identity of the woman, which is in violation of Supreme Court guidelines.[68]

On October 4, Rajveer Singh Pehelwan, an ex-MLA of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), held a rally in support of the accused. Hundreds of people
attended the rally, including the family members of the four accused. The meeting was also attended by members of various right-wing outfits like the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Karni Sena and Bajrang Dal. These members were also part of various upper caste outfits including Kshatriya
Mahasabha, Rashtriya Savarna Sangathan etc.[69][70][71] On October 7, the Ex-BJP MLA and 100 others were booked by the UP Police for organizing
the rally.[72] According to a BJP leader, Ranjeet Srivastava, the accused are not guilty of a crime. He further questioned that, "Such girls are found dead
in only some places. They will be found dead in sugarcane, corn and millet fields or in bushes, gutters or forests. Why are they never found dead in
paddy or wheat fields?".[73][74] The head of the National Commission for Women commented this was unfit statement for any political party leader.[74][75]
Another remark that drew fierce criticism came from BJP MLA, Surendra Nath Singh that "Sanskar should be instilled in girls to prevent incidents of
rape".[76]

The United Nations in India expressed concerns over gender based violence. In the statement they mentioned that, "it is essential that authorities ensure
the perpetrators are brought to justice speedily and families are empowered to seek timely justice, social support, counselling, healthcare and
rehabilitation".[77]

On 30 September, around 5000 sanitation workers in Agra, who belong to the Valmiki community, went on a strike to demand justice for the victim.[78]
Protestors in Jantar Mantar, New Delhi demanded the resignation of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on 2 October.[79] However, the protest
in India Gate on 1 October was rejected under the Section 144 of CrPC.[80] On 9 October 2020, various dalit organizations called a Bandh which halted
normal life in Punjab.[81] Bahujan Samaj Party workers organized protests against Yogi Adityanath in the different parts of country.[82][83][84][85] Indian
students, professors and scholars staged a protest in United Kingdom in memory of the victims.[86] Protests were staged in the United States of America,
particularly in Times Square, Headquarters of the United Nations, Michigan and Philadelphia, against the Indian government.[87] B. R. Ambedkar
followers in the parts of South America, North America, Middle East, Europe and Asia demanded justice for the victim.[88]

Trial [ edit ]

On 19 December 2020, CBI filed a chargesheet in a special court in Hathras, invoking gang rape and murder charges along with charges under SC/ST
Prevention of Atrocities Act, against the four accused.[89] CBI also mentioned lapses on part of UP Police that include delay in recording the victim's
statement in writing and her subsequent medical examination.[90] The CBI reportedly found a record of a total of 115 calls exchanged between the victim
and the accused from October 2019 to March 2020.[91]

Verdict [ edit ]

On 2 March 2023, the Hathras district court, in its decision, acquitted three of the four accused, Ramu, Luvkush, and Ravi. The fourth, Sandeep, was
convicted for the offences of culpable homicide not amounting to murder (IPC Section 304) and provisions under the SC/ST Act, but not for rape and
murder, and was sentenced to life imprisonment along with a fine of ₹50,000.[92][93] The defense and the prosecution have both appealed against the
verdict in the Allahabad High Court. The Uttar Pradesh Police has been criticized by the CBI for inaction and delay in collecting samples as well as other
evidence, eventually botching up the investigation, which led to the acquittal.[94]
