Police have arrested ward boy Shahbaz, doctor Amit Pandey and hospital manager Sunil Yadav on charges of murder and gang rape.
Pratapgarh: Shocking revelations were made by police in the alleged gang rape and murder of a young dalit woman last week at a private hospital in Raniganj area of Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh.

Accused Tried To Destroy Evidence
The SP informed, “Shahbaz tried to save the girl with the help of the doctor, but she died. After this, all the evidence was destroyed at the hospital.

At night, we received a call from the hospital staff who informed that she has died. They shifted her body to our home in an ambulance,” stated her family members.
The mother claimed that there were injury marks on her daughter’s body. “She was murdered after gang rape,” she alleged.
Even though police assured of taking action once they receive the post mortem report, on March 28, the victim’s family members and several villagers staged a protest outside the police station by placing her body on a cot. The angry mob also pelted stones, injuring 13 persons including the circle officer.
Later, on the basis of a complaint lodged by the family members, police registered a case against the doctor, manager, hospital owner, ward boy and six other employees under sections of gang rape and murder. Further investigation into the matter is underway.

प्रतापगढ़ दलित नर्स की मृत्यु आत्महत्या से हुई, जिसमें तीन अस्पताल के डॉक्टर और वार्ड बॉय को गिरफ्तार किया गया: पुलिस।
1 अप्रैल, 2025 को पोस्ट किया गया

पुलिस ने हत्या और सामूहिक बलात्कार के आरोप में वार्ड बॉय शाहबाज़, डॉक्टर अमित पांडे और अस्पताल के प्रबंधक सुनील यादव को गिरफ्तार किया है।
Pratapgarh: उत्तर प्रदेश के प्रतापगढ़ क्षेत्र के एक निजी अस्पताल में पिछले हफ्ते पिछले हफ्ते एक युवा दलित महिला की हत्या और हत्या के कथित सामूहिक बलात्कार में पुलिस द्वारा चौंकाने वाले खुलासे किए गए थे। जांच के दौरान, यह पता चला कि अभियुक्तों ने शादी के झूठे वादे पर महीनों तक यौन संबंधों के बाद महिला की मृत्यु हो गई। एक डॉक्टर, अस्पताल के प्रबंधक और अस्पताल के वार्ड बॉय सहित तीन व्यक्तियों को गिरफ्तार किया गया और जेल भेज दिया गया।
प्रतापगढ़ एसपी अनिल कुमार ने बताया कि इस मामले में प्रमुख अभियुक्त अस्पताल के वार्ड बॉय शाहबाज़, पीड़ित के साथ एक रिश्ते में थे, जिन्होंने एक ही अस्पताल में भी काम किया था, और अक्सर उसके साथ यौन गतिविधि में लगे हुए थे। हालांकि, महिला के बार -बार अनुरोधों के बावजूद, उसने उससे शादी करने से इनकार कर दिया। इससे चोट लगी, महिला ने अस्पताल में अपना जीवन समाप्त करने का प्रयास किया।
आरोपी ने सबूतों को नष्ट करने की कोशिश की
एसपी ने सूचित किया, "शाहबाज़ ने डॉक्टर की मदद से लड़की को बचाने की कोशिश की, लेकिन उसकी मृत्यु हो गई। इसके बाद, सभी सबूत अस्पताल में नष्ट हो गए। आरोपी ने अपने परिवार के सदस्यों के सामने सच्चाई का खुलासा नहीं किया, और बल्कि उन्हें बताया कि लड़की एक गंभीर हालत में अस्पताल पहुंची है।"
जांच के बाद, पुलिस ने वार्ड बॉय शाहबाज़, डॉक्टर अमित पांडे और अस्पताल के प्रबंधक सुनील यादव को हत्या और सामूहिक बलात्कार के आरोप में गिरफ्तार किया। अस्पताल के तीन अन्य कर्मचारियों को भी पूछताछ के लिए हिरासत में लिया गया है।
27 मार्च को क्या हुआ
पिछले चार वर्षों से, 22 वर्षीय पीड़ित निजी अस्पताल में एक नर्स के रूप में काम कर रहा था, और वह सफाई की गतिविधियों की भी देखी गई। "27 मार्च को, हमारी बेटी ड्यूटी के लिए घर से निकल गई। रात में, हमें अस्पताल के कर्मचारियों से एक फोन आया, जिसने सूचित किया कि वह मर गई है। उन्होंने उसके शरीर को हमारे घर में एक एम्बुलेंस में स्थानांतरित कर दिया," उसके परिवार के सदस्यों ने कहा।
मां ने दावा किया कि उसकी बेटी के शरीर पर चोट के निशान थे। उन्होंने कहा, "गिरोह बलात्कार के बाद उसकी हत्या कर दी गई थी।"
भले ही पुलिस ने 28 मार्च को पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट प्राप्त करने के बाद कार्रवाई करने का आश्वासन दिया, 28 मार्च को, पीड़ित के परिवार के सदस्यों और कई ग्रामीणों ने पुलिस स्टेशन के बाहर उसके शव पर एक खाट पर रखकर विरोध प्रदर्शन किया। गुस्से में भीड़ ने भी पत्थरों को घायल कर दिया, जिससे सर्कल अधिकारी सहित 13 व्यक्तियों को घायल कर दिया गया।
बाद में, परिवार के सदस्यों द्वारा दर्ज एक शिकायत के आधार पर, पुलिस ने गैंग बलात्कार और हत्या के वर्गों के तहत डॉक्टर, प्रबंधक, अस्पताल के मालिक, वार्ड बॉय और छह अन्य कर्मचारियों के खिलाफ एक मामला दर्ज किया। मामले की आगे की जांच चल रही है।

Karnataka govt sanctions Rs 13.91 lakh for Dalit man who lost hand in caste attack
The Karnataka government approved Rs 13 lakh compensation for Anish Kumar whose hand was severed by Vokkaliga men in caste-based attack at Malagalu village, Ramanagara last year.
The Karnataka Social Welfare Department has sanctioned Rs 13.91 lakh for Anish Kumar, a 32-year-old Dalit man whose left hand was severed in a brutal caste-based attack in Malagalu village, Ramanagara district, last year. The funds will cover the cost of a prosthetic limb, as recommended by Otto Bock Health Care India Pvt. Ltd, a medical rehabilitation firm.
An order dated March 28, 2025, cites the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Rules, 1995, which mandate compensation for victims of caste violence. The Social Welfare Department approved the amount as a “special case,” given the severity of the assault.
On July 21, 2024, Anish Kumar, belonging to the Adi Karnataka (SC) community, was ambushed by a group of seven men from the Vokkaliga community while walking with his uncle. The altercation began after the accused allegedly hurled casteist slurs. Soon after, the attackers barged into Anish’s home, assaulted his family, and severed his forearm.

Four accused have been arrested so far.
The Social Welfare Department had initially sanctioned Rs 12 lakh under victim compensation schemes. After assessing the prosthetic limb’s cost, which is Rs 13,91,670, the government approved the additional amount. The funds were allocated from the Central Sector Scheme.

Tamil Nadu: Accused in violence against Dalits in Periyasevalai, Marakkanam freed
Acquittal despite brazenness and openness of the violence is worrying, say activists
The key reason for the acquittals in both the cases appears to be the lack of evidence to prove the involvement of the accused.
VILLUPURAM: Two judgments by the SC/ST Special Court in Villupuram on Friday, acquitting all the accused in two different caste clashes have raised serious concerns over the quality of prosecution and the denial of justice for victims in the incidents.
The Special Court on Friday evening acquitted 20 accused in the 2013 Marakkanam violence that broke out between Vanniyars, predominantly belonging to the Pattali Makkal Katchi, and the Dalits.
In another judgment in the case regarding the caste clash in Periyasevalai near Thiruvennainallur in Villupuram district in 2016, the special court ruled that 72 out of the total 97 accused not guilty and acquitted them. The case against remaining 25 was dismissed on the grounds of death or deletion of names.
The key reason for the acquittals in both the cases appears to be the lack of evidence to prove the involvement of the accused.
On midnight April 25, 2013, violent clash broke out at Marakkanam among local Dalit residents, many owing allegiance to the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, and Vanniyars proceeding to attend the Chithra Pournami youth festival, organised by the Vanniyar Sangam, the parent organisation of the PMK, at Mamallapuram.
Several tenements, shops of Dalits, and a few vehicles, including government buses, were torched and a lot more damaged.
Two PMK cadre died in the violence. Six Dalits were convicted by a sessions court in Villupuram district in 2016 for the deaths in contrast to the acquittals of all caste Hindus by the SC/ST Special Court on Friday.
At Periyasevalai, clash broke out allegedly over a name board at the junction of Periyasevalai and Saravanapakkam, since the board carried the name of the latter, which is predominantly a Dalit settlement.
The case in the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was filed after the clash resulted in the alleged damage of several properties belonging to the Dalits.
Speaking to TNIE, Villupuram MP and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi general secretary D Ravikumar expressed concern that such acquittals in caste violence are becoming a growing trend.
“The irony is that these cases are dismissed in the special court that function exclusively for hearing caste atrocities meticulously. Despite such infrastructure, the prosecution fails to prove the authenticity of the cases, make the cases weaker and thereby the accused get a free pass. This lethargy of the prosecution must be questioned and changed to ensure justice for the victims,” he said.
Ravikumar stressed that it becomes more difficult to prove cases of mass violence unless solid evidence and witnesses are produced.
Advocate U Karkee in Villupuram said, “Such cases resulting in acquittal despite the brazenness and openness of the violence is worrying. This will give an upper hand to the perpetrators and fail those who suffered loss of lives and properties in the clash. Moreover, the compensation for the victims (under the SC / ST PoA Act) will be cut because of such acquittals.”
Karkee added that Chief Minister MK Stalin’s recent statement mentioning a six per cent drop in SC/ST PoA cases as a positive trend should also be seen in the context that the affected community may not be coming forward to report incidents due to their lack of faith that they would be rendered justice.
‘Lack of faith’
CM’s recent statement mentioning a 6% drop in SC/ST cases as a positive trend should be seen in the context that the affected community may not be coming forward to report incidents due to lack of faith that they would be rendered justice, says Advocate U Karkee.

Congress backs reservation for Dalit, tribal and OBC students at private educational institutions
A statement from party communications chief Jairam Ramesh on Monday supported a parliamentary committee’s recommendation for a law to implement social category reservations at private institutions, as provided under Article 15(5) of the Constitution
The Congress has demanded reservation for Dalit, tribal and OBC students at private educational institutions, nearly two decades after a government it led sidestepped the matter despite obtaining a constitutional mandate.
A statement from party communications chief Jairam Ramesh on Monday supported a parliamentary committee’s recommendation for a law to implement social category reservations at private institutions, as provided under Article 15(5) of the Constitution.
It was the UPA-I government that had brought in Article 15(5) through the 93rd constitutional amendment in 2005. The provision enabled the government to provide reservations at all educational institutions, public or private.
In 2006, the UPA government enacted the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, implementing reservations at public-funded institutions. But it did not bring in any law enforcing reservations at private institutions.
Monday’s Congress statement referred to this omission.
It underlined that the Supreme Court had in 2008 upheld the constitutional validity of the 2006 Act. “Reservation in private unaided institutions left open to be decided in appropriate course,” it added, without elaboration.
Later, in 2014 — the year the UPA lost power — the Supreme Court upheld the validity of Article 15(5) in Pramati Educational and Cultural Trust vs Union of India.
This means that reservations for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes were constitutionally permissible at private educational institutions too, the Congress statement said.
Earlier, in its manifesto for last year’s Lok Sabha elections — a decade after the apex court upheld Article 15(5) — the Congress had pledged to pass legislation to implement reservations at private educational institutions.
Now that the parliamentary standing committee on education has recommended such a law, the Congress reiterates this demand, the statement said. The panel is headed by Congress MP Digvijaya Singh.
Currently, no private educational institution implements social category reservations.
In 2002, the Supreme Court had ruled in the TMA Pai case that a private body’s right to establish educational institutions was a fundamental right, and this included the right to decide admission procedures.
Education law expert Ravi Bhardwaj said Article 15(5) cannot be implemented without a supporting law.
“The Constitution has created an enabling provision. To make it effective, the government should have brought in a bill in Parliament anytime during the last 19 years.
This has not been done,” Bhardwaj said.
- Sukumar, who teaches political science at Delhi University, said: “The private institutions are going to increase further and will cater to the higher education needs of the majority of students. They should be mandated to follow the reservation policy to ensure that students from the deprived sections get the opportunity to study.”
The standing committee has sought a review of the current system of admitting undergraduate and postgraduate students to the central universities solely through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).
It has said a single MCQ-based exam cannot cater to the varying needs of the different universities, implying that the institutions should be allowed to hold their own entrance tests.

PK Rosie: Why Malayalam cinema’s Dalit actress was cursed to live in the darkness of anonymity
“Rosie’s story may not be fully recorded, but her existence has become a symbol of the struggle between caste and gender.”
Swadesh Kumar Sinha
A hundred years ago, it was very difficult for a woman to work in films, but if she was from the Dalit community, it was almost impossible. One such Malayalam film actress was PK Rosie; who was from the Dalit community. When her first and last film ‘Vigat Kumaran’ (Lost Child) premiered, the anger and hatred of the upper caste society fell upon her.
She played the heroine in this silent film. She was described as a sinner, a prostitute and a despicable woman who had broken the rules of Manusmriti. This film was released in Thiruvananthapuram in 1928 (although there are some differences regarding this year). Filmmaker J.C. Daniel directed it. He is considered the father of Malayalam cinema.
When a Dalit woman was seen as a Nair character in this film, the upper caste audience got angry. They vandalized the theater and chased Daniel and Rosie out of there. Even after this the violence did not stop–the mob set Rosie’s house on fire. Very little information is available about her life.
Google dedicated a doodle to her on her 120th birthday in 2023, but her actual birth date has not been confirmed till date.
Author Venu Abraham has written a novel called Nashtanayaka (Lost Heroine). He says that there is no concrete information about Rosie’s birth and death, even the popular picture of her is not considered authentic.
Rosie was born in the early 1900s in the Pulaya community of Thiruvananthapuram, who were considered ‘untouchable’ in the society. She worked as a grass cutter for a living, but her inclination towards acting led her to step into Kakkarasi Nataka (a folk theatre form). Rosy is believed to be the first woman to act in Kakkarasi Natakas. It was during this time that she met Daniel and worked in Vigathakumaran.
Due to the uproar after the premiere of the film, Rosy had to flee from Thiruvananthapuram to save her life. She is said to have fled to Nagercoil in a truck driven by a man named Keshava Pillai. She later married the same Keshava Pillai, who belonged to the Nair caste. Hiding her true identity, she spent the rest of her life in the society that had once refused to accept her.
She is said to have died in the 1980s, although the exact details are not available.
Daniel was a wealthy man, but the failure of Vigathakumaran and his subsequent attempts to make films left him financially devastated. In the 1960s, historian and journalist Chelangatt Gopalakrishnan revived his contributions and earned him recognition as the father of Malayalam cinema. Daniel died in 1975.
In the 1970s, historian Kunnukuzhy S. Mani began writing about Rosy. In the 21st century, several attempts have been made to get Rosy recognition. Venu Abraham first came to know about her in 2005 through a protest letter issued by an organisation of Dalit writers during the Kerala International Film Festival, and wrote Nashtanayika based on his research. Subsequently, in 2013, director Kamal made the Malayalam film Celluloid, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran as Daniel and debutante Chandani Geetha as Rosie. Although the film was criticised for portraying Rosie from an upper caste perspective, it became the most talked about film on Rosie’s life to date.
In 2019, the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) founded the PK Rosie Film Society to promote women and feminism in cinema.
“Rosie’s story may not be fully documented, but her existence has become a symbol of the struggle between caste and gender,” says WCC founding member Beena Paul.
In Tamil Nadu, filmmaker Pa. Ranjith’s Neelam Cultural Centre started the PK Rosie Film Festival, which showcases films based on Dalit themes. Rosie was also paid tribute in the signature video of the Kerala International Film Festival in 2024. In the 21st century, many efforts were made to get Rosie recognition. Even today, Dalit heroes and heroines are rarely seen in mainstream films. All this is commendable, but true justice will be done only when Dalit and female actors get a fair place in Indian cinema and such films become common, in which Dalit and female lead characters are there and whose Dalit caste identity is publicly known, such film stars are rare. Director Kamal believes that if Rosie were alive today, she would have got to play supporting roles instead of the main heroine.
In India, Dalit-themed cinema is mainly seen in the Marathi and Tamil industry, but even there it is mostly male-centric. Even after a century, Indian cinema has not been able to fully walk on the path created by the brave Dalit woman named Rosie.

Uttarakhand: Protests erupt in Haridwar against MP Trivendra Rawat over Dalit remarks, mining policies
Youths erupted in anger against MP Trivendra Singh Rawat in Haridwar, alleging him of snatching people’s jobs. Protesters accused Rawat of not having implemented any important development work during his tenure as CM.
Massive protests were organised in Haridwar’s Singhdwar against Uttarakhand MP Trivendra Singh Rawat on Sunday, in which the local youth and the villagers raised slogans against him. Expressing deep displeasure over Rawat’s frequent controversial statements and “discrimination” against Dalits, the protestors made various accusations against him. The youth who took part in this demonstration said that Trivendra Rawat “promoted illegal mining” during his four-year tenure and “ended the employment opportunities” of the villagers.
The protesting youth said that Trivendra Singh Rawat promoted illegal mining during his tenure, when he should have known that mining is harmful to the environment and society. Protesting youths asked, “Does Trivendra Rawat consider snatching Haridwar’s villagers jobs as his success?” The protestors alleged that MP Rawat wanted to “rob lakhs of people of their livelihood” to boost his “political prestige”.
MP Tirvendra Rawat is accused of not having implemented “any important development work” in his four-year tenure. A few days ago, “missing parliamentarian” boards were put up against him in Roorkee too, with a reward of Rs 5000 announced if someone finds him. The current protests and allegations highlight growing discontent against Rawat. The protesters said that if MP Trivendra Rawat tries to snatch their jobs, they will not sit quiet.
Youths allege Rawat of insulting “Dalits and poor”
The protesters have accused Rawat of “insulting Dalits and the poor”. The youth took a dig at him and said that in a survey conducted by a private news channel, he was named as the “most unsuccessful Chief Minister” of Uttarakhand.
The youth said that the survey was a “clear proof of the failures” of his tenure. The protests at Singhdwar in Haridwar against Rawat made it clear that public anger against the former CM has intensified.

31 मार्च, 2025 को पोस्ट किया गया

विरोध करने वाले युवाओं ने कहा कि त्रिवेंद्र सिंह रावत ने अपने कार्यकाल के दौरान अवैध खनन को बढ़ावा दिया, जब उन्हें पता होना चाहिए कि खनन पर्यावरण और समाज के लिए हानिकारक है। विरोध करने वाले युवाओं ने पूछा, "क्या त्रिवेंद्र रावत ने हरिद्वार के ग्रामीणों की नौकरी को उनकी सफलता के रूप में छीनने पर विचार किया है?" प्रदर्शनकारियों ने आरोप लगाया कि सांसद रावत अपनी "राजनीतिक प्रतिष्ठा" को बढ़ावा देने के लिए "अपनी आजीविका के लोगों को लूटना" चाहते थे।
सांसद तिरवेंद्र रावत पर आरोप है कि वे अपने चार साल के कार्यकाल में "किसी भी महत्वपूर्ण विकास कार्य" को लागू नहीं कर रहे हैं। कुछ दिनों पहले, "लापता सांसद" बोर्डों को रोरकी में भी उनके खिलाफ रखा गया था, जिसमें 5000 रुपये के इनाम के साथ घोषणा की गई थी कि क्या कोई उसे पाता है। वर्तमान विरोध और आरोप रावत के खिलाफ बढ़ते असंतोष को उजागर करते हैं। प्रदर्शनकारियों ने कहा कि अगर सांसद त्रिवेंद्र रावत अपनी नौकरी छीनने की कोशिश करते हैं, तो वे चुप नहीं बैठेंगे।
युवाओं ने रावत को "दलितों और गरीबों" का अपमान करने का आरोप लगाया
प्रदर्शनकारियों ने रावत पर "अपमानजनक दलितों और गरीबों" का आरोप लगाया है। युवाओं ने उस पर एक खुदाई की और कहा कि एक निजी समाचार चैनल द्वारा किए गए एक सर्वेक्षण में, उन्हें उत्तराखंड के "सबसे असफल मुख्यमंत्री" के रूप में नामित किया गया था।
युवाओं ने कहा कि सर्वेक्षण उनके कार्यकाल के "विफलताओं का स्पष्ट प्रमाण" था। रावत के खिलाफ हरिद्वार में सिंहद्वार के विरोध प्रदर्शन ने यह स्पष्ट कर दिया कि पूर्व सीएम के खिलाफ सार्वजनिक गुस्सा तेज हो गया है।

Punjab: Glass shield around Dr Ambedkar’s statue defaced
Tension gripped Phillaur on Monday after supporters of the banned terror outfit, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), defaced the glass shield installed around the statue of Dr BR Ambedkar at Nangal village.
After finding pro-Khalistan slogans spray-painted on the glass shield in the wee hours, Sarpanch Khushi Ram reported the matter to the police. Phillaur DSP Sarwan Singh Bal said heavy police force had been deployed in the area to maintain law and order.
Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary has urged the public to maintain communal harmony and not be provoked by divisive elements. Calling him a “fraud”, the MLA said, “Pannun does not represent the Sikh community.”
The DSP said they were monitoring the situation closely and an FIR had been registered against Pannun along with unidentified persons under Section 299 of the BNS.
