The family of the 19-year-old Hathras rape victim spoke to the media after two days as the reporters were not allowed to enter the village.
Seeking justice, the victims’ brother demanded an inquiry into whose body was cremated by the Uttar Pradesh Police. He also told the media that the family requested the police and the administration to allow them to see her one last time.
"Moreover, when we requested for the post mortem report, they said you will not understand it as you cannot read English," the brother told ANI.
The SIT will look into all issues raised by the family, and the strictest action will be taken against the culprits, Uttar Pradesh Additional Chief Secretary, Home, Awanish Awasthi, said on Saturday after meeting the victim's kin.
