“They burnt her body without any proper Hindu rituals. Didn’t she deserve even that much dignity?”

The family alleged that at 2.30 am, they were locked up in the house by Uttar Pradesh Police and the body was taken away for cremation. | @IsmatAraa https://thewire.in/rights/hathras-dalit-victim-cremated-uttar-pradesh-police">https://thewire.in/rights/ha...

“No matter what now, we can’t live in the village anymore...We will have to leave the village at any cost to avoid any further confrontation and violence on us," the victim& #39;s brother told @IsmatAraa.
