UP: Dalit woman raped before being killed, alleges husband
The 40-year-old victim had gone to the mill on Tuesday for mud plastering and later, her severed head was found close to the mill

Banda: A Dalit woman whose dismembered body was discovered in Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district earlier this week, was allegedly raped before she was murdered, her husband had alleged in his police complaint.
A little ahead was a piece of her blood-stained saree, along with her one hand.
Initially, it was assumed that she died after becoming entangled in the mill belt at first.
However, her daughter claimed that when she visited the mill, it was closed.
Despite her best efforts, she was unable to open the door after hearing her mother’s screams.
The daughter told the police that the brother of the mill owner, Raj Kumar Shukla Bauwa, opened the door after 30 minutes, ostensibly while intoxicated.
Upon entering, she discovered that Raj Kumar Shukla’s sibling Ram Krishna was also present.
The daughter also questioned how could her mother become entangled in the chakki belt when every day, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., the electricity goes off in the village.
SHO Girva police station Sandip Tiwari has said that the police have registered a case of murder and rape against three persons named in the FIR.
“The post-mortem has been conducted by a panel of two doctors and the entire process has been video recorded. Police are making efforts for arrest of accused,” he said.
However, according to the statement made public by the accused, Sohan Babu, the victim’s husband, is their “bataidaar” of four bighas of land, which indicates that a large amount of land has been leased and Shuklas will split the profits equally.
Raj Kumar Shukla said in a statement: “She was called to help me plaster the chakki room with mud, and she left after doing her work.”

Uttar Pradesh: Dalit woman raped, murdered, body chopped into pieces
When her 20-year-old daughter reached there, she heard her mother’s screams from a room that was bolted from inside, Station House Officer (Girwan) police station Sandeep Tiwari said on Thursday.
After some time, when the door of the room opened, the girl saw the mother’s body lying in three pieces and informed the police, he said.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav attacked the state government over the incident.
In a post in Hindi on X, Yadav said, “The news of rape and heinous murder of a Dalit in Banda is heart-wrenching. The women of Uttar Pradesh are scared and also angry.”
The former chief minister also mentioned the alleged incident of stripping and recording indecent videos of a female student of IIT-BHU.
“The incident of making a video of a female student of IIT-BHU after stripping her after indecency is a slap on the face of the law and order in Uttar Pradesh and exposes BJP’s big lie of zero tolerance,” he said.
“The women of Uttar Pradesh have completely lost faith in the BJP government. Now any expectation from this government is meaningless,” Yadav said.
The SP chief shared a video of a protest being held by the students of IIT-BHU on his social media account.

Madras HC orders FIR on three cops for assault on Dalit family
Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan directed the Tiruvannamalai SP to register the FIR against SI Murugan and constables Nammalvar and Vijayakumar and complete the investigation within 12 weeks.
By R Sivakumar
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has ordered the police to register an FIR against three police personnel, including a sub-inspector, for brutally assaulting a man, his wife and son, belonging to the scheduled caste (SC), in full public view at Chengam in Tiruvannamalai district in 2016 and abusing them by calling out their caste.
Passing orders on a petition filed by Raja, whose family suffered the assault, Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan directed the Tiruvannamalai SP to register the FIR against SI Murugan and constables Nammalvar and Vijayakumar and complete the investigation within 12 weeks. He directed the SP to initiate disciplinary action against them by keeping them under suspension from service until the disciplinary proceedings are completed.
“Though the petitioner resisted them from attacking, they manhandled and brutally attacked him with lathi. In fact, they tore his wife’s jacket and abused her in front of the general public,” the judge recorded in the order. He further noted that those who came forward to help them were threatened by the police personnel of foisting false cases against them.

‘The Buddha was a master teacher who catered his message for different audiences,’ says author Douglas Ober PREMIUM
From foreign policy to values and morals, Douglas Ober on the contemporary relevance of the Buddha

Shortlisted for the $75,000 Cundill History Prize, Dust on the Throne: The Search for Buddhism in Modern India offers a new perspective on the history and revival of Buddhism in India. In an interview, Douglas Ober, an honorary research associate in the Centre for India and South Asia Research at the University of British Columbia, captures the contemporary relevance of the Buddha.
Buddhism doesn’t possess a monopoly on universal values — but I am sceptical of the narrative that justifies Buddhism’s historical erasure by arguing that it does not matter because its system of values and morals were purportedly carried on elsewhere. Gandhi and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan had argued in various ways that as a branch of Hinduism, Buddhism didn’t offer anything different than what ‘reformed’ Hinduism already possessed. But by adopting this view we end up denying Buddhist traditions and practices, their intrinsic identity and autonomy, in effect falsifying and erasing their distinctive histories and pathways. Understanding Buddhism as just a series of values, which secular modernists have been trying to do to Buddhism for the past 150 years, turns it into something that is incidental and can be just as easily sought elsewhere.

The End.
