A case of gang rape and brutal murder of a Dalit woman has come to light in Banda, Uttar Pradesh. The woman’s body was found naked and in many pieces. On receiving the information, the police reached the spot, took possession of the body and sent it for post-mortem. In this regard, the woman’s daughter has filed a report under the sections of gangrape and murder. However, after preliminary investigation, the police have declared the incident a mere accident. It is suspected that the woman died due to getting trapped in the mill.
Police reached the spot only after receiving information from the victim. The police have taken a complaint from the victim and registered a case under the sections of gangrape and murder and named three accused. However, after preliminary investigation, the police termed the case as suspicious. CO Nitin Kumar Narayani said that prima facie this case seems to be an accident. Despite this, a case has been registered on the complaint of the daughter of the deceased woman.
Post mortem of the dead body is being done and further action will be taken after seeing the report. On the other hand, as soon as information about the incident was received, Bhim Army swung into action. The district coordinator of Bhim Army has fraudulently called a Dalit woman and accused her of gangrape and murder. Similarly, National President of Rashtriya Swaraj Panther Party, Munna Lal Dinkar has also accused the administration of laxity in taking action and warned of taking to the streets.

For protest seeking land for Dalits, 79-year-old ex-IPS officer spends 3 weeks in Gorakhpur jail
Retired IPS officer and social activist S R Darapuri was among nine activists arrested on charges of vandalism and attempt to murder under IPC section 307.
Written by Asad Rehman
Retired IPS officer and social activist S R Darapuri is back at his Lucknow home after spending three weeks in a Gorakhpur jail. Darapuri, who will turn 80 next month, was arrested on October 11 after he took part in a protest at the Gorakhpur Divisional Commissioner’s office demanding land for landless Dalit families.
He was among nine activists arrested on charges of vandalism and attempt to murder under IPC section 307. A French research scholar, Valentine Jean, was also arrested, but booked in a separate case under the Foreigners Act after he participated in the protest.“
The police and administration arrested me and the others because they don’t want such protests to happen again. They want to send a message,” Darapuri said, adding that booking them for attempt to murder was “an afterthought to keep the arrested persons in jail”.
Darapuri was granted bail by the Gorakhpur Additional Sessions Court on October 28 and released from Gorakhpur jail on Tuesday evening. Three of the nine arrested are still in jail, waiting for their paperwork to be completed.
On his three weeks in jail, Darapuri said, “It was difficult because of my age and the health issues. I couldn’t sit because of Parkinson’s. And if I sat, I couldn’t get up. Plus, there was overcrowding in toilets. Since I have an issue in my prostate, I struggled.”
The October 10 protest was held under the banner of Ambedkar Jan Morcha, headed by activist Shravan Kumar Nirala.
“I reached Gorakhpur at 10 am on October 10. Then, I went to the protest site and left around 12.30 pm. I spoke for 10-15 minutes only. We were demanding the government to allot one acre of land to landless Dalit families,” said Darapuri, who has been actively raising the issue of land reforms and redistribution of land to backward sections of society, including Dalits, tribals and other communities.
“Land for the backward communities means honour and security. It is not just an asset. I think the UP government should allot land to landless Dalit families so they can be empowered,” said Darapuri, who is also the national president of All India People’s Front.
According to Darapuri, police kept him in illegal custody for 12 hours. “Police showed my arrest at 7 pm on October 11, when I was brought to the police station at 7 am that day. That’s illegal. The CCTV footage of the hotel, where I stayed, can be checked for corroboration,” said the former IPS officer.
Since the police had said the protesters were arrested as prohibitory orders were in place, Darapuri questioned the use of CrPC Section 144, which prohibits the gathering of four or more persons. “For section 144 to be in place, there is a process laid down. It should be advertised in the newspapers and there should be a proper public announcement. Neither was done here. Police can’t use it as per their wishes,” Darapuri said.
Asked about allegations levelled against police by Darapuri, Gorakhpur Circle Officer (Cantt) Manush Pareek said, “I can’t comment on the allegations. I have not received any complaint from anyone regarding these allegations. The case is under investigation and I can’t comment on it.”

Two Dalit youths disrobed, urinated upon and mugged in Tirunelveli
Speaking to reporters at the hospital, the victims said they had gone to the river on Monday around 7.30 PM to take a bath when a group started attacking them.
TIRUNELVELI: Six men from a Most Backward Community were arrested by the Tirunelveli city police late on Tuesday for allegedly torturing two Dalit youths by disrobing them and urinating on them before snatching their cash and mobile phones on Monday night on Thamirabarani riverbed. The victims, S Manoj Kumar ( 21) and S Mariappan (19), are currently undergoing treatment at Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital.
While Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi district secretary MC Sekar and local functionary Murugan Kannan alleged that the police are attempting to portray the incident as a simple robbery, Tirunelveli City Police Commissioner C Mageswari rejected the allegations and said a fair investigation is on in the case.
Speaking to reporters at the hospital, the victims said they had gone to the river on Monday around 7.30 PM to take a bath when a group started attacking them. After learning that they were Dalits, the group intensified the attack, asked them to strip, and urinated on them, the victims said. The attackers also snatched silver jewellery and cell phones from the victims.
Torture lasted over five hours, victims lost Rs 5,000
As the muggers demanded money, one of the victims asked his employer to send Rs 5,000. The torture continued from 7.45 PM to 1 AM. After the money was credited, one of the accused went to a nearby ATM on the victim’s bike to withdraw money.
The victims later managed to escape and reached home at late night. Thatchanallur police filed cases against Ponmani, Nallamuthu, Aayiram, Ramar, Lakshmanan, and Siva from Tirunelveli and arrested them. They were booked under various sections of the IPC and SC/ST Act, 2015.

Aligarh man accused of acid attack on 14-year-old girl nabbed after 21 yearsA man accused of an acid attack in Aligarh 21 years ago has been arrested by the police. The victim, Rukaiya Khatoon, was 14 at the time of the attack and had recently told the police that she had rejected the advances of the accused, who was a member of her extended family. The case came to the attention of a senior police officer when Rukaiya shared her ordeal at a cafe for acid attack survivors. She had not filed an FIR at the time and therefore could not access government schemes for survivors. The arrest was made as part of a campaign to motivate women to speak out against injustice. Acid attacks were not specifically addressed in the Indian Penal Code until 2013, when special provisions were introduced for survivors.104790178
