Hathras Family Says It May Leave Village, Alleges Assault on Women

A family in Kota village of the Mursan police station area in Hathras has warned that it may leave the village, alleging fear of influential local people. Family members were seen holding posters and demanding justice. The family has also sent a written complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Hathras, seeking action in the matter.

The complaint was sent after an allegation that some people entered the family’s house and assaulted women. The complainant, Bantu Chauhan, has alleged that at around 7:30 pm on 30 September 2026, some people from the same village entered his house and beat his wife and sister-in-law with sticks.

According to the family, a case was registered at the Mursan police station against around six people, including Bharat Chauhan. A video related to the incident had also gone viral on social media. The video appeared to show women being assaulted.

Bantu Chauhan has alleged that even after the case was registered, the police did not take the expected action against the named accused. He has also alleged that a case was registered against him and his family following a complaint by the wife of one of the accused. The complainant’s side has described that case as false.

Bantu Chauhan said his family has been living in an atmosphere of fear since the incident. In the written complaint submitted to the SP, he sought a fair investigation into the entire matter, action against the accused and security for his family.

The complainant said that if he and his family did not get justice, they would be forced to leave the village because of fear of the influential people. Photographs of family members holding posters and demanding justice have also emerged.

The family’s warning of leaving the village comes amid its allegations of assault, lack of expected police action and the registration of another case against them. The allegations have been made by the complainant and his family.

The position of the police has not yet come forward. The situation in the case will become clearer after the police present their side.
