Kangana Ranaut, Richa Chadha And Other B-Town Celebs Demand Justice For Hathras Victim

A 19-year-old Dalit girl, who was allegedly gang-raped and tortured by four men from an upper caste in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, passed away today (September 29, 2020). She succumbed to her injuries in Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi. The girl had been in an extremely critical state with multiple fractures and her tongue had been slashed in the horrific assault. All the four accused are currently in jail.

The girl's brother confirmed the news of her demise and was quoted as saying by Mumbai Mirror, "We want justice for her. The accused shouldn't be spared. They must be hanged."

Meanwhile, Bollywood celebrities like Kangana Ranaut, Richa Chadha and others condemned the barbaric crime and demanded justice for the victim.

"If the use of the word 'dalit' has triggered you more than the barbarity of rape and violence itself, there's a problem don't you think ? We must act together, build a society where caste becomes immaterial and girls have an actual shot at life. RIP #JusticeForHathrasVictim," read Richa Chadha's tweet.
