Hathras case: Yogi seeks CBI probe; victim's kin refuse to immerse ashes

In their first comments to the media after being cut off by the UP administration from speaking out for days, the family of the 19-year-old Dalit girl from Hathras said on Saturday that they will not immerse the ashes of the dead teenager as they don’t know if it was hers. Later in the day, facing a mounting demand for accountability, chief minister Yogi Adityanath ordered a CBI investigation into the case.
