MEERUT: The family of a 16year-old girl who was allegedly gang-raped before being murdered in Bulandshahr has alleged that police forced them to cremate the minor before they could even arrange for her last rites.
The incident, which led to massive protests on Tuesday, has brought back shocking memories of the Hathras case in 2020 that triggered nation-wide furore after a19-year-old Dalit girl who had allegedly been violated and killed was hurriedly cremated despite protestations by the bereaved family.
