SIT अपनी रिपोर्ट 7 दिन में प्रस्तुत करेगी।
The incident has sparked outrage with people demanding justice for the girl while politicians have targeted Adityanath for the alleged deteriorating law and order situation in his state.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted, "The Dalit rape victim from Hathras has died in the hospital. She was fighting for her life in hospital for two weeks. A number of rape incidents in Uttar Pradesh has shaken the state."
"The law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh has deteriorated beyond limits. There is no safety for women. Crime is taking place openly in the state. The murderers of this girl need to be punished strictly. Yogi Adityanath should answer for the safety issues of women."
...यूपी में कानून व्यवस्था हद से ज्यादा बिगड़ चुकी है। महिलाओं की सुरक्षा का नाम-ओ-निशान नहीं है।अपराधी खुले आम अपराध कर रहे हैं।

इस बच्ची के क़ातिलों को कड़ी से कड़ी सजा मिलनी चाहिए। @myogiadityanath उप्र की महिलाओं की सुरक्षा के प्रति आप जवाबदेह हैं। 2/2
Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati tweeted, "The death of the Hathras gangrape survivor is saddening. BSP demands support for the deceased's family from the state government and the guilty must be punished by running the case in fast track court."
यूपी के हाथरस में गैंगरेप के बाद दलित पीड़िता की आज हुई मौत की खबर अति-दुःखद। सरकार पीड़ित परिवार की हर संभव सहायता करे व फास्ट ट्रैक कोर्ट में मुकदमा चलाकर अपराधियों को जल्द सजा सुनिश्चित करे, बीएसपी की यह माँग।

".... there is no hope from today's insensitive government," tweeted other former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
