A case of alleged gang-rape and murder in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras has triggered nation-wide condemnation. Both the incident itself and the local administration's subsequent acts, such as cremating the victim in the dead of the night. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court sat down to hear a writ petition that sought a CBI or SIT probe headed by a retired Supreme Court or High Court judge. The affidavit had also justified the pre-dawn cremation of the victim stating that the district administration had convinced the parents of deceased to cremate her at night to avoid large scale violence in the morning.
