"Unruly Elements Offered 50 Lakhs To Hathras Family To Speak Untruths": Cops
One of the 19 FIRs (First Information Reports) filed by the Uttar Pradesh police in the aftermath of the Hathras case alleges sedition and conspiracy by "unknown" people. It also alleges that the family of the young woman who died after her assault and alleged gang rape by four men was offered Rs. 50 lakh to lie about the state government. The FIR, one of the six filed in Hathras, is based on a complaint by a sub-inspector and says: "Unruly elements offered Rs. 50 lakh to the family of the woman to speak untruths against the government." It does not specify who those elements are. The FIR, accessed by NDTV, also blames unruly elements for an attempt to stir caste tension in Uttar Pradesh.
