Three men accused in the 2020 Hathras case were acquitted by an Uttar Pradesh court on Thursday while the main suspect was convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Sandeep Thakur has been convicted under a lesser charge, and not of rape or murder, officials said. The other three accused, Sandeep’s uncle Ravi and their friends Luv Kush and Ramu, were cleared of the charges. The 20-year-old SC woman had died at a Delhi hospital a fortnight after she was allegedly gang-raped in her village in Hathras.
