As AAP workers tried to create chaos, the UP Police used mild lathicharge to dispers the protesters.

Hathras has become favourite hotspot of political parties as they make a beeline to visit the family members of alleged gangrape victim. UP government is facing brickbats for its shoddy handling of the case but the ‘political tourism’ by opposition parties to non-descript town is also not getting due appreciation from locals.
