Lucknow, Oct 1: Forensic tests conducted under the supervisor of Yogi Adityanath government have claimed there was no rape in the Hathras case in which a 19-year-old woman was brutally assaulted by a group of men on September 14 while she was working on grass fields with her family. The victim died at a hospital in Delhi on Tuesday after battling for life for two weeks.

ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar has said, “No semen has been found in the forensic report. The FSL report has already clarified that there was no rape on the victim.”

“It clearly shows how a conspiracy was hatched to create caste tension on completely wrong information. Action will be taken those who tried to spread misinformation to create caste tension,” said the officer.

The police officer further said that the incident was reported by the Hathras victim's brother on September 14. A fresh video has emerged on Thursday, which clearly suggests that her tongue was not chopped off as claimed by some, said the officer.

The forensic report claiming no presence of sperm on the body of the Hathras victim has been sent for further investigation.

Meanwhile, after the second FIR was lodged by the family on September 22 in which they named suspects, three more accused have been arrested.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
