Know what UP govt told SC in Hathras case

The state emphasised that "there cannot be any bad intention on part of anyone to expedite the cremation, except to obviate the potentially violent situation resulting from a caste divide planned (on the issue) by certain vested interests". A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde was scheduled to hear a PIL on Tuesday for a CBI or SIT probe into the Hathras case. The matter was likely to be taken up after 12 pm.
