Hathras Case: UP Requests Supreme Court to monitor CBI probe

The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday requested the Supreme Court to monitor the CBI probe into the alleged gang rape and torture of the Hathras Dalit woman who died last month in the capital. The state government also requested the top court to direct the investigating agency to submit fortnightly status reports.

It stressed on its ‘commitment to provide complete security to victims' family and witnesses’ and in its affidavit submitted a list of police personnel posted for security. The apex court was informed that eight CCTV cameras have been installed outside the victim’s home to keep a watch.
