Hathras DM rubbishes negative rumours about his interaction with victim's family

Hathras District Magistrate PK Laxkar met with Hathras victim's family and denied all negative rumours.

He informed that family's apprehension is that the convict must be punished and be hanged to death.

"I met with 6 family members of the victim yesterday and we spoke for about an hour and a half.

I met with them again today to see their point of discontent.

I deny the negative rumours which are at rife about my interactions with them.

Their main point of apprehension is that the convicted must be punished and be hanged to death.

I tried to allay their fears and told them that the matter would be tried in a fast track court," said PK Laxkar, District Magistrate, Hathras.

"The media is not being allowed to access the site of the incident because the investigation of a crime scene requires privacy.

The SIT was there all day today.

There is no 'special' reason why the media isn't being allowed," he further added.
