Bhubaneswar: As violent and gory details of the rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit girl in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, went viral, it brought back memories of the brutal 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape in New Delhi.
In the Hathras case, however, it’s caste-based gender violence perpetrated by the upper caste against women from scheduled caste.
While some called out the selective outrage, others took to social media to collectively tweet ‘Say Her N
ame’ followed by the victim’s name.
Revealing the name of a rape victim or sexual assault survivor or victim is illegal under the Indian Penal Code.
