Hathras Gang-Rape: Congress Delegation Led By Rahul And Priyanka To Visit Gang-Rape Victim’s Family

New Delhi: A delegation of Congress MPs led by former party Chief Rahul Gandhi and the party’s general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi will go to Hathras on Saturday afternoon to meet the family of the 19-year-old woman who died after she was assaulted and allegedly gang-raped.

“Congress MPs under the leadership of former Congress President Shri. Rahul Gandhi will go to Hathras today afternoon to meet the grieving family of the 19-year-old daughter of Uttar Pradesh, who was brutally assaulted, murdered and the body cremated surreptitiously in the middle of night by Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government,” the party said in a statement.

“The Congress delegation led by Shri. Rahul Gandhi and Smt Priyanka Gandhi will meet the family members to hear their grievances and demand justice for the victim and her family who have been denied justice and severely traumatized by the BJP Government in their desperate attempt to hide the truth of the heinous crime perpetrated on the victim,” it added.

On Thursday, they were detained by the UP police as they attempted to make their way towards Boolgarhi, the village in Hathras.
