Several other celebs from the entertainment industry have expressed their anger and condemned the horrific incident. From Kangana Ranaut, Anushka Sharma, Kriti Sanon and Riteish Deshmukh to Akshay Kumar, Farhan Akhtar and Richa Chadha, several actors have called for “serious punishment” after the 19-year-old Dalit woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras died on Tuesday. The accused had tried to strangulate the woman to death as she resisted their attempt and in the process, she had ended up biting her tongue, suffering a severe cut on it.

The woman was gang-raped on September 14 following which she was admitted to the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital in Aligarh. She was referred to Delhi’s Safdarjung hospital on Monday after her condition showed no signs of improvement.
