The Uttar Pradesh Director of General of Police on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court to depute any agency for protecting the Hathras victim's family, but said it should not be a reflection on the fairness of the state police.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the DGP, submitted before a bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde: "This court may depute any agency for protection of the family but it shouldn't be a reflection on the state police's fairness. We are not opposed to anything."
