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
