Hathras case: Scores of people defend accused at meeting outside former BJP MLA's residence

India Today  

In a meeting held outside the house of a former Bharatiya Janata Party MLA in Hathras on Sunday, scores of people defended the accused in the alleged gangrape of a 19-year-old Dalit woman and demanded registration of an FIR against her family members. Heavy police force was deployed in the vicinity of former BJP MLA Rajvir Singh Pehalvan's residence, located around 8-9 kilometres from the victim's village. One of the organisers of the meeting and Pehalvan's son Manveer Singh denied that the gathering comprised members from the upper castes and said they were from "different sections of society". We have faith in the investigation," Manveer Singh said while claiming that the victim's family members were "changing their stand". The meeting assumes significance as it was held a day after Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra visited the victim's house and met her family members at a village in Hathras district, and the recommendation of a CBI probe by UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
