This is a completely false claim and the image of the cremation has been superimposed into the laptop that Adityanath is looking into.

New Agency has posted the original image, with the caption, " Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath speaks to the family of Hathras gang rape victim via vide conferencing."

ANI also put out the father's response in which he said that he had spoken to CM Yogi. He assured us that we will get justice. It is true we did not get to see our daughter.
