Six-year-old raped by relative in Hathras dies, family protests over police inaction
India TodayWhile the fire over the alleged gangrape and murder of a 19-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras is still burning, a case of a six-year-old child being raped has come from the same district. An FIR was registered by police on September 21 on the complaint of the girl's father, a resident of a village in Hathras district, that he suspected the girl was raped in captivity. The victim's father also alleged that his other daughter is also being kept captive at the maternal aunt's house and the police have arrested the wrong accused as of now. The incident has come to light amid widespread outrage over the death and alleged gangrape of a Dalit woman in Hathras by four "upper caste" men and the Uttar Pradesh administration's response to the incident.
