Hapur lynching: SC agrees to urgent hearing in case after accused unknowingly admits to murder on camera

Firstpost  

The Supreme Court agreed to an urgent hearing in the Hapur lynching case after NDTV aired videos from its investigation. After an undercover investigation by NDTV, during which the accused in the Hapur lynching case purportedly admitted to the crime, the Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to urgently take up the case. On 18 June, 45-year-old cattle trader Qasim Qureshi was lynched, and 65-year-old farmer Samayuddin was brutally beaten over rumours of cow slaughter in Hapur district’s Bajhera Khurd village in Uttar Pradesh. The police made four arrests after the Hapur lynching, naming a local resident, Yudhishthir Singh Sisodia, as the main accused.
