Mahila Congress Seeks Fresh Probe into Hathras Case Based on New Documentary

The All India Mahila Congress demanded a reopening of the 2020 Hathras gangrape-murder case, citing a new documentary exposing alleged systemic failures and cover-ups by Uttar Pradesh authorities. The victim, a Dalit woman, was assaulted on September 14, 2020, and died two weeks later in Delhi. Authorities allegedly cremated her body without family consent, and crucial forensic evidence was reportedly compromised. Three of four accused were acquitted due to weak investigation.
