The hashtag #ABPKoMatRoko attracted as many as 74,000 tweets and the counting is on... We request all our readers, viewers and countrymen to come out in support of ABP News and do not let powerful forces destroy the fourth pillar of democracy - i.e. media. The mortal remains of a 19-year-old Dalit woman from Hathras, who died in a Delhi hospital after sustaining serious injuries during an alleged gang rape, was cremated early Wednesday in her village amid tight security. The woman was allegedly raped in a Hathras village by four men, who were later taken into custody. Initially she was rushed to the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital in Aligarh, but on Monday night had to be shifted to the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi after her condition deteriorated.
