The Uttar Pradesh government sent two Additional Director General (ADG) and Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police level special officers to the Hathras district and Aligarh range for a week.

The decision by the UP government came in the backdrop of increasing uproar and law and order situation arising over the horrific incident. 

An FIR also got registered on Wednesday against four people, allegedly linked with the Popular Front of India (PFI) in Mathura, who were going to Hathras.

The FIR stated that some anti-social elements are plotting to harm social harmony by instigating caste factions using the pretext of the Hathras gang-rape and murder incident.

Facing a battering to its image, the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it wanted an apex court-monitored CBI inquiry into the Hathras episode, which the SC described as horrible.
