The family members of a woman who was allegedly gang raped before being brutally murdered in Hathras district, told the Allahabad high court on Monday that the local police and the district administration 'harassed' them and did not even allow them to perform the list rites of their daughter. They also said that the district administration tried to exert undue pressure on them while the police did not even file FIR, when they approached the cops immediately after the incident last month. The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court, which has taken suo motu cognisance of the incident, posted the matter for further hearing on November 2nd. During around three-hour long hearing,  five members of the victim's family narrated their side of the story before the court. The district magistrate and the police chief of Hathras also put forth their contention in the matter.
