Hathras was once again in the spotlight in Uttar Pradesh after the father of a molestation victim was allegedly shot dead on Monday by the assault accused who had been sent to jail on a complaint in 2018 but was out on bail. The incident sparked an uproar, with the opposition lashing out at the Yogi Adityanath government once again over the law and order situation in the state. However, a political slugfest ensued as the BJP and the Samajwadi Party accused each other of having links with the accused, on the basis of pictures shared on social media.
