The NCW chief also met the women on Wednesday who got injured in the Hathras tragic stampede that claimed 122 lives.


“Yesterday I went to meet the women who got injured in the tragic incident of Hathras. Also met the DC and SP to make sure the culprits must be arrested. The Baba who makes fool of these innocent women and ran away after the incident must be booked and arrested immediately,” Sharma posted on X on Thursday.


A team from the NCW led by chairperson Rekha Sharma and member secretary Meenakshi Negi met the injured women victims of the Hathras stampede incident on Wednesday and said most of the participants in the event were women.
