Lawyer of the 2012 Delhi gang-rape victim Nirbhaya, Seema Kushwaha, will fight the case of the Hathras victim. As per reports, the victim's family has allowed Kushwaha to represent them in the court.
Notably, Kushwaha has been in regular touch with the victim's family since her death at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital. Kushwaha has leveled serious allegations on the district administration and has also accused police of failing to help the victim's family. Kushwaha has also said that the victim's family is not feeling safe in the village.
This comes as security agencies have uncovered a plot to instigate riots along caste lines and defame Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh by using the Hathras incident.
