India badminton player Saina Nehwal, cricketers Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina were among the sportspersons on Tuesday who demanded justice for the 19-year-old Dalit woman who was gangraped in Hathras and later died of her injuries in Delhi.
The 19-year-old woman, who was gangraped by four men in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras on September 14, was brought to a Delhi hospital on Monday for treatment but could not survive.
What happened in #Hathras is inhumane and goes beyond cruelty. Hope the culprits of this heinous crime will be brought to justice. #JusticeForManishaValmiki

It pains a lot to even hear this. A girl from UP was tortured & gang raped at #Hathras has lost her life today….
