The Yogi Adityanath Government has deployed round-the-clock security outside the house of the Hathras victim.
The family had sought security from the government.
Hathras Superintendent of Police Vineet Jaiswal said that two women sub-inspectors and six women constables have been stationed at the victim's house.
“Two security personnel have been deployed for the security of the victim's brother. Provincial Armed Constabulary personnel are also camping outside the house,” he said.
Apart from this, 15 police personnel, three station house officers and one deputy superintendent of police have been deployed in the village to prevent any untoward incident, he added.
The victim's family had repeatedly said that they feared for their safety. They had even said that they wanted to leave the village and settle elsewhere.
“We are afraid of threats (from the supporters of the four accused arrested in the case). The coming days will be more challenging for us,” the victim's brother said.
Meanwhile, in a video that has gone viral on social media, some upper caste men can be heard threatening the victim's family and defending the four men arrested for the crime.
