Hathras incident “inhumane, beyond cruelty”; Virat Kohli calls for Justice for Manisha Valmiki
New Delhi: Indian Cricket Team’s captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday called for Justice for Manisha Valmiki, a 20-year-old Dalit girl who was brutally raped earlier this month. Manisha succumbed to her injuries in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday morning.
The woman had suffered multiple fractures, paralysis and a deep gash in her tongue in the savage assault compared by many to the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape.
The incident that has shocked the country was condemned widely on Tuesday across social media platforms after the girl breathed her last on Tuesday. #JusticeForManishaValmiki was top trending on Twitter with nearly two lakh tweets at the time of posting this report.
Skipper Virat Kohli also took to twitter and condemned the incident and called it “inhumane” and said it goes beyond cruelty. He also hoped that the culprits of the heinous crime will be brought to justice.
What happened in #Hathras is inhumane and goes beyond cruelty. Hope the culprits of this heinous crime will be brought to justice. #JusticeForManishaValmiki

UP: 90 Bangladeshis, including 28 children, held in Mathura for illegal stay
Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.
They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.
"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.
Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.
"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.
The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.
Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
