The four accused in the alleged gang rape and torture of a young Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras in September have been charged by the CBI for gang-rape and murder, their lawyer said.
The CBI has also invoked charges against the accused under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, their lawyer said. The details emerged after the probe agency filed its chargesheet before a court in Hathras, some 200 km from Delhi.
