The district administration has finally allowed media on Saturday to enter the village of the victim of Hathras incident.

Speaking to media, Sadar Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Prem Prakash said, "According to SIT their probe in the village is complete or partially complete. The restrictions on media inside the village has now been lifted. More than five media persons are not allowed to gather as Section 144 of CrPC is in place."

"Only media is allowed right now. When orders come in to allow delegations, we will let everybody know. All allegations about phones of the family members being taken away or confining them in their homes are absolutely baseless," the SDM clarified.

Since October 1, media were not allowed to go inside the village or meet the family members. Police personnel were also deployed at the entrance of Bulgaddhi village. 

The incident has sparked across the nation. However, it has gained a lot of political attention as well wiith opposition parties slamming the Yogi Adityanath government over the law and order situation in the country.

Adityanath has already given directions to suspend SP, DSP, inspector and some other officials based on the first report of SIT which is probing the torture and alleged gangrape case of a 19-year woman in Hathras who later succumbed to her injuries in a Delhi hospital.

The Chief Minister had said earlier in the day that the government was committed to ensuring the safety of women."Those who even think of damaging the honour of our mothers and sisters will be destroyed. They will be given such punishment that it will serve as an example in future. Your UP government is committed to the safety and security of every mother and sister. This is our promise, our determination," Adityanath said in a tweet in Hindi.
