Respected Sir

I, B.Karthik Navayan,Programme Officer, National Dalit Forum wants to bring to your kind noticeabout the cruel attack, sexual abuse on six Dalit women, gross violation ofhuman rights. And Inaction of Police and administration 

On 09/12/2011, Friday, an upper caste mob brutally attackedSix Dalit Women namely 1) Smt Manju Devi, w/o Satan Sada, 2) Smt Dulari Deviw/o Kainu Sada; 3) Smt Parodevi w/o Ramnath Sada, 4) Smt Pabiya Devi w/o TaraniSada 5) Smt Reshma Devi w/o Wakil Sada 6) Geetha Devi w/o Dinesh Sada.  All are belongs to Nararia village of Khagariadistrict in Bihar

Theaccused mob 1) Saroj Singh s/o Promod Singh 2) Anoj Singh s/o Promod Singh 3)Manoj Singh s/o Promod Singh 4) Dharmendra Singh s/o Promod Singh 5) PromodSingh s/o Uchit Singh 6) Uchit Singh s/o Ramswaroop Singh7) Wakil Singh s/oMaheshwar Singh 8) Kailas Singh s/o Maheshwar Singh 9) Maheshwar Singh s/o SukhdevSingh, all belongs to Chatar Village  ofKhagaria District in Bihar

All theaccused went to the farm of dalit women Manju Devi on 09/12/2011 at 9 AM, toencroach it illegally, and started destroying it. When she came to know, shealong with her above said neighbor women went to the farm and tried to stop themob that started destroying the farm

Theaccused mob circled the 6 dalit women and abused them in filthy language, onthe name of their caste and attacked them by lathi danda and guns. All the 6dalit women shocked and asked them why they are destroying the farm. Theirritated mob had beaten all the women. Due to this two women went unconscious.One woman Dulari Devi’s both hands fractured, they also snatched the gold ringsworth of 15000/- (Fifteen Thousand Rupees)

SatanSada the husband of Manju Devi reached the place and requested for compromise.The accused mercilessly looted Rs 10000/-(Ten Thousand) from him at gun point.The accused number 1, Saroj Singh fired a bullet on Satan Sada, fortunately itmissed

TheAccused 2 Anoj Singh and Accused 3 Manoj Singh both sexually harassed PabiyaDevi and Parodevi; they removed Sarees and blouses of both dalit women andparaded nakedly. And they spit in the mouths of dalit women. Now all the victimsadmitted in the Sadar Hospital in Khagaria.

Thevictims lodged a complaint in the Morkahi Police Station; FIR isregistered number 80/2011 under section 147, 148, 149, 342, 323, 325, 504 ofIndian penal code and Section 3 (i) (ii) (iii), (iv), (x), (xi) of ScheduledCastes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1987. The stationhouse officer Sathyendra Kumar took up the investigation

Even after27 days of incident, neither an inquiry is conducted nor the accused arrestedby the police, due to the political influence of the Accused. And meanwhile the accused regularly calling andsending mediators to victims and threatening to withdraw the complaint bysaying that “police and other government officials not going to help thevictims, nothing will happen to accused” police only serve the rich people notpoor like you”.

I request your kind authority todirect the police to conduct inquiry and arrest the accused immediately, alsorequest you to direct the district government authority to visit the victimsand provide the necessary health facilities and compensation

TheDalits in this locality are feeling panic after this brutal attack on the dalitwomen so I further request National Human Rights Commission to visit the Narariavillage of Khagaria district in Bihar.  And conduct an inquiry in this case, to givemoral support to the victims and local dalits
