HC seeks details from Facebook, Twitter
The Delhi High Court has sought the responses of the Centre and three social media platforms Facebook, Google and Twitter on a petition seeking details of those who uploaded a wrong photograph of the Hathras rape victim.
Justice Prathiba M. Singh issued notice to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the social media platforms, and asked them to place before the court, in a sealed cover, the basic subscriber information of the person(s) who uploaded videos and photos that wrongly showed another deceased woman as the rape victim.
The direction came on an application moved by the widower of the deceased in his main petition. The petitioner contended that his wife’s photograph was being circulated on various social media platforms and that they wrongly depicted her as the victim of the unfortunate incident of the rape and murder of a young girl at Hathras, Uttar Pradesh last year.

India as a country wakes up to the news of rapes, domestic abuse, acid attacks, and physical violence every day. Yet the situation keeps getting worse except for social media outrage in certain cases that come into the limelight. Caste, colour, gender, and religion have been the basis of discrimination in our country. And those lying at the intersection of these parameters suffer the most.

According to the NCRB s Crime in India 2019 report, Uttar Pradesh reported the highest number of crimes against women
The
murder of a man whose daughter was allegedly sexually harassed by the accused in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh has again brought the focus back on crimes against women in the state. Hathras had earlier shot to national infamy
after a 20-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly gang-raped by four upper caste men and the police s handling of the case, resulting in public outcry on the streets last year.
Even though Uttar Pradesh has always had a high rate of crime against women, if National Crime Record Bureau data is to be believed, it is the viciousness of the recent attacks that has left everyone stunned. In the Hathras case, the victim was left with her tongue bitten off and her spinal cord and neck severely injured.
