Dalit girl killed, eyes gouged out in UP


Jalaun (Uttar Pradesh), Sep 2 (IANS): A 14-year-old Dalit girl was found killed with her eyes gouged out in Jalaun. Police said her neighbour has been arrested charged with abduction and murder. The autopsy report is awaited to ascertain whether the victim was raped or not.

According to reports, the girl, a resident of Ata area in Jalaun district, went out for some work on Saturday evening, but never returned home. Her parents lodged a missing person's report with police the same night.

Her body was found on Sunday afternoon in a secluded spot. Her clothes were torn and her eyes gouged out, indicating torment and possible rape before murder, sources in police said.

DIG (Jhansi range) Subhash Singh Baghel, who visited the crime scene with Jalaun Superintendent of Police Avadesh Singh, said Ranjit Ahirwar had been arrested and booked under Sections 302 and 363 of the IPC on the basis of the complaint given by the girl's father.

"The suspect already has a case under Section 376 (rape) pending against him. He is also accused of molesting a minor relative, which went unreported. We are waiting for the post-mortem report (to confirm or deny rape) before further action can be taken. The arrested man is being interrogated," the DIG said.

    caste system in Hinduism has killed this country since ages. It is ironical that it still continues and going by the way, even the educated are behaving, it is going to be there till the end of this earth.

    Really sad. The progress of this country will be hindered because of these caste issues.

    Hon SC, laid down New rules.....Accused who came out from bail should not get bail second time till both case disposed by Session Court, HC and SC

    secondly , SC should Constitute with Full Bench and reverse its old Judgement ( death Penalty for Rarest of Rare Case ) . Till that habitual Criminals wont get fear...
