The Hathras rape and the death of the woman has shocked the whole nation, and people are fuming in anger after the family of the woman was blocked from getting to see her body which was burnt by the police themselves.

Many celebrities like Pa Ranjith have strongly criticised the police of UP as well as the state Chief minister Yogi Adityanath, asking him to step down, and yesterday when congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi went to meet the family of the deceased, they were stopped, lathi charged and arrested by UP police.

Condemning this incident, actor and Makkal needhi maiam president Kamal Haasan has slammed the UP police in his latest tweet that read "Nadir of political misbehavior! Shame on UP Police. We, the people, voted for such thuggery. Irrespective of the party and its philosophy, rancour and hate will only breed and multiply, unless condemned by the majority."
