Actress Kangana Ranaut s reacted to the demise of 19-year-old woman, who was gang-raped and assaulted in Hathras of Uttar Pradesh. The woman passed away at a hospital in Delhi, confirmed her brother. Ranaut tweeted, ''Shoot these rapists publicly, what is the solution to these gang rapes that are growing in numbers every year? What a sad and shameful day for this country. Shame on us we failed our daughters #RIPManishaValmiki''. The victim was admitted at Safdarjung hospital for better healthcare facilities. She died today morning.

Actress Richa Chadha also vented her anger, saying, 'If the use of the word 'dalit' has triggered you more than the barbarity of rape and violence itself, there's a problem don't you think ? We must act together, build a society where caste becomes immaterial and girls have an actual shot at life. RIP. Seeking justice for the Hathras gang-rape victim, Swara Bhaskar tweeted - Hathras's abusive, heart-wrenching gang rape victim, another Nirbhaya succumbed this morning. There is no end to our humanity. We have become a sick inhuman society. Shameful, sadistic. 

The young woman from Uttar Pradesh died two weeks after she was gang-raped and tortured by four men from her village in Hathras. The woman had been in an extremely critical state with multiple fractures and her tongue had been slashed in the horrific assault. All four attackers are in jail. The woman belonged to the Scheduled Castes community, while the attackers were from a so-called upper caste. The incident, coming in a wave of crimes against women in Uttar Pradesh in recent months, sparked nationwide shock and anger as details of the woman's injuries emerged. The woman was attacked on September 14 at her village in Hathras, some 200 km from Delhi. She was dragged by her dupatta into the fields from a spot where she had been cutting grass with her family.
