"There were four accused, three have been released. Sandeep (convict in the case) has been imprisoned for life. The rest three have been released this morning at eight o'clock," Jailor PK Singh said.

He said that they were acquitted by the court yesterday but sought a one-day delay in their release citing security reasons.

A 19-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital on September 29, 2020, after being assaulted and allegedly gang-raped in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras on September 14, 2020. Her body was cremated by the Uttar Pradesh Police and the administration allegedly without the consent or the presence of the victim's family.
