Twitter/@thefirstindia The family of the 19-year-old Dalit woman from Hathras pleading with the police to let them take her body home before cremating it. Sadness and grief over the death of the 19-year-old Dalit woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras turned into outrage early on Wednesday after reports said that the state’s police forcibly cremated the body. Amid massive outrage over the incident and the way the body was cremated, her brother said the family had not given consent for the cremation and were scared. A video tweeted by NDTV shows the woman’s family in front of the ambulance, begging the police to let them take her body home. — Richa Singh (@traverseth) September 30, 2020I am a dalit woman.
