Lucknow, Sep 30 (IANS) Amid an uproar over the cremation of the body of a Dalit gang-rape victim early on Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spoke to the 19-year-old woman’s father in Hathras district and offered his condolences.

He also announced a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the bereaved family, apart from a job to one of its members. The family would also be given a house.

Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Avanish Awasthi said that the Chief Minister assured the woman’s father of the most stringent action against the culprits and all possible help to the family.

Earlier in the day, the CM set up a Special Investigation Team led by Home Secretary Bhagwan Swaroop to probe and submit a report on the crime in seven days.
