According to an India Today ground report, a huge ruckus broke out over the cremation of Hathras gangrape victim's body. As the victim's body was being forcibly taken away for cremation without the family's permission, villagers came out to protest and had to lie in front of the ambulance to stop it. The family members kept begging the police officials but around 2.45 am on Wednesday, the Dalit woman's body was cremated. UP Police then forcibly took the victim's body to the cremation, around 100 meters from her native home, and forcibly burnt the body against the family's will.
