UP CM Yogi Adityanath announces SIT to probe Hathras gang-rape, murder

New Delhi (ILNS): Following massive public outrage over the gang-rape and murder of a 19-year-old girl from Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, the state’s Chief Minister, Yogi Aditynath today announced a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the incident and report back in 7 days.

Considering the number of similar cases piling up in Uttar Pradesh, the CM has also said that this case should be carried through a fast track court.

The SIT will be led by Bhagwan Swarup, home secretary and will also have DIG Chandraprakash and commandant PAC Agra, Poonam.

Two weeks ago the girl was brutally gang-raped in a village in Hathras district. Part of her was paralysed by the brutality. She was taken to the J N Medical College Hospital in Aligarh in serious condition. When her condition did not improve she was moved to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital on Monday. However, she could not be saved and died on Tuesday.
