Condemning the gangrape-death of 19-year-old Dalit girl in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackrey on Thursday made it clear that a Hathras like incident will not be tolerated in his state. Speaking virtually at the inauguration of the newly formed Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar police commissionerate, Uddhav said that any kind of crime against women including harassment and eve-teasing would be dealt with severely. Further, the Chief Minister said that there should be a sense of fear of police and people should feel safe. His remarks come amidst the nationwide uproar over the brutal gangrape of a Hathras girl who died on Tuesday in a Delhi hospital.
