Lucknow: Over the last month, Uttar Pradesh police has sent notices to 10 women activists who were on the forefront of protests against the Hathras brutality of October 2020.
These activists had been vocal in calling for government accountability and a fair probe into the incident where a 19-year-old Dalit woman died after having been gang-raped and injured by four ‘upper’ caste Thakur men in the Uttar Pradesh village.

Police in northern India said on Thursday (March 4) they had arrested a man who beheaded his daughter and carried her severed head to the village police station, a case that spurred calls for a new law against so-called honour killings.
The man told police he had attacked his 17-year-old daughter with an axe on Wednesday (March 3) in anger over her relationship with a man.
“He said he saw his daughter in a compromising position with a man and he beheaded her in a fit of rage,” Anurag Vats, police superintendent of Hardoi district in northern Uttar Pradesh state, said.
