Hathras horror has been repeated again in the Delhi Cantonment in southwest Delhi. A nine-year-old Dalit girl has been allegedly gang-raped by a priest and three others. The brutality didn’t end there. While the victim was unconscious, the four men allegedly burnt her alive. They cremated her without the consent of her parents.
