AIDWA Statement on Hathras rape case
12 Oct 2020
AIDWA is deeply concerned about the report in the Hindu today that the CBI has removed
the FIR in the Hathras case from its website.The earlier website had displayed the FIR by the
Noida Branch stating that an FIR had been registered under S376D and Sections 302 etc for
gang rape and murder. Now the FIR seems to have been deleted. The website now shows that
the CBI will conduct its investigation on the basis of the FIR lodged in the Hathras police station
which does not include rape and murder.

On the one hand, the lockdown has devastated their livelihood and on the other physical distancing snatched away many women’s source of earning and income. Women have become the shock absorber of the family. As schools are closed and hospitals are turning away patients other than with Covid-19, the elderly and the sick become additional responsibility for women.
