  • Summary:: Krishna Pal (45) and Lal Saheb are brothers and they are living together with their family members at Nirpura village under Doghat Police Station, in Bagpat District. They belong to SC Chamar. Two months before Krishan w/o Lal Saheb was raped by Pramod S/o Khema Jat. A complaint was lodged in Doghat Police Station, but no action was taken by Police. Annoyed with the complaint lodged by the victims, on 21/01/07, the perpetrators namely Anuj S/o Chensingh assaulted Lakhan S/o Krishna Pal. He brutally gave a fierce blow on his head with a cricket bat sustaining severe injuries on his head. Lakhan was rushed to the Medical College, Meerut. He undergone medical treatment, which cost around Rs. 90,000/- . A case has been registered in P.S. Doghat against Anuj regarding this incident. On 1/2/07 Lakhan was discharged from the hospital. Meanwhile Panchayat meeting was called upon wherein a decision was taken that the amount incurred on the treatment of Lakhan shall be paid by Chensingh f/o Anuj. Hearing the order Krishna Pal withdrew his complaint. As per the decision of Panchayat, Chensingh paid an amount of Rs.80, 000/- to the victim with a grudge to take revenge in future. On the day of Holi (3/3/07), Pramod S/o Khema Jat having this grudge, falsely and mischievously beaten his own son and lodged a false complaint against the victims by saying that the victims Krishna Pal and Lal Saheb had beaten his son. The perpetrators even bribed the police officials to arrest the victims. When the victims came to know that a false complaint has been registered against them they got frightened and ran towards the field in order to avoid the arrest. On the same night, the police officials came to the house of the victim in search of them. They broke the lock and ransacked the house of Krishnapal. The police official enquired Rachana (21) D/o Krishnapal, who was alone at that time, about her family members. As soon as she replied that she does not know they abused her and left the house. On 4/3/07, Rachana informed her parents, who were in the field out of fear, about the previous day incident and advised them not to come home. Since the attempts made by the police to arrest the victims went in vain, the irate police officials on 10/03/07, around 9 P.M came in a vehicle along with 4 dominants Beelendar S/o Khema, Anuj S/o Chen Singh, Pramod S/o Khema Jat , Chen Singh S/o Randeer to the house of Krishnapal.. They jumped over the compound wall of the house and barged into the house, where Mohini and Rachana were sleeping. The perpetrators raped Mohini in front of the police and beaten her to death. They also threatened Rachana with dire consequences if she reveals the truth. Somehow the parents of the victims came to know about the death of their daughter –Mohini. They managed to reach their house and found deceased Mohini’s beaded nose and mouth. Even scratches were found on her face. They took the dead body to Bhagapat along with other villagers and narrated the incident to S.P. He promised to take necessary action against the perpetrators.

    Vangapuri Varamma called the DSS Divisional Organizer and said that relatives of the accused have come to their house, abused her in filthy language, tried to beat her, and said that they would make their colony burial ground after the funeral of the accused and warned the dalits in the Madigapalle of dire consequences.  The villagers fled away from the village.  She said that they have no protection, for the villagers left back their family to their fate.  DSS DO gave moral support to them.

    15-03-2007, 23:15

    The information has come to the state office; having received the information, the Convenor called the SI Ramanand Goud.  SI’s phone was out of covering area.  Then she called the CI, Hanumanth Rao.  As even his phone was out of coverage area, she called the DSP.  DSP was on leave.  The police there have given the number of the OSD (Officer on Special Duty) Ravi Prakash. Gunman received and asked if he should wake up the OSD.  Then she narrated the incident to the gunman to explain the seriousness of the issue.  He immediately woke up the OSD and the Convener narrated him the whole incident.  OSD said that he would immediately arrange for the protection.  

     

    16-03-2007, 08:00

    DSS Narsaraopet DO reached the village, which built in the confidence in the community.  DSS Convener called the DSS Women Collective members Simon Kumari and Varamma and talked to them.  The women collectives informed that no picketing was arranged.  

     

    DSS DO stationed there and the Convener instructed the DO to call her over phone every half an hour as added to the situation there, there were no proper signals.  

     

    16-03-2007, 10:00

    When the Convenor called the OSD again, he said Moorjampadu does not fall under his jurisdiction and falls under Satennapalli Sub-division.  When the Convenor asked how he has assured yesterday night, he said that he was sleepy and assured of the protection.

     

    16-03-2007, 10:10

    The Convenor spoke to the SDPO, Sattenapalli immediately and detailed the incident.  He said that he was on leave but still he would arrange for protection.  

     

    16-03-2007, 11:30

    Phonograms and fax were sent to the SP and collector of Guntur district for effective action.  Representations were sent to the SC/ST Commission, National Human Rights Commission, State Human Rights Commission and IG of PCR Cell.  

     

    16-03-2007, 14:30

    After the postmortem of the accused, some people belonging to the Kamma caste came to Madigapalle and threatened that they would see the end of the Dalits after the funeral of the accused.  

     

    16-03-2007, 14:40

    Having frightened, the villagers started scolding the victim and his family that he is the reason for the whole dalits to be targeted.     

     

    16-03-2007, 14:55

    The women collectives of DSS informed the Convener of DSS about the threat and said that the police have not yet provided protection to the village.

     

    16-03-2007, 17:20

    Some people from the caste of the accused attacked the villagers and seriously threatened that they would see the end of dalits tonight.  The DSS women collectives informed this to the DSS Convener.  

     

    16-03-2007, 17:30

    The Convener immediately called the SP, Shashidhar Reddy and asked the reason why protection was not yet provided.  He said that he has seen the fax and phonogram from DSS, and he could provide protection only next day evening as all the policemen were busy in security duty for MLC elections to be held on 17th March 2007.  The Convenor explained the necessity of immediate protection in the Moorjampadu village, since the situation was tense, and the people of the accused are continuously threatening the dalits in the village and by the time police reach for their help next day in the evening as said by the SP, another Karamchedu or Tsundur incident would take place and they will have to provide security to the dead bodies of the dalits.  She asked the SP to arrange for immediate protection or he will have to stand responsible in case of any untoward incident on dalits.  Having realized, SP assured that he would immediately arrange for protection. 

    16-03-2007, 18:00

    By the time SI along with 6 constables reached Moorjampadu village, the people of the caste of the accused were in drunken state abusing and threatening the villagers.  The police assured the dalits that they are there to provide protection to the dalits and severely warned the people belonging to the accused and the elders of the Kamma community that they are there as per the SP’s orders and they would arrest immediately in case they cause even the slightest harm to the dalit community.  

     

    Boldness of the dalit women community

    When the police said to the dalit community that, “It’s the police who will stay with you and protect you and not the organizations who come once in a while.”  As usual the men nodded their heads saying yes.  But the dalit women said “No.  Even you (police) are here because of Dalit Sthree Sakthi.  Our women collectives (of DSS) are here to stand by us.  If we are alive today, it is because of DSS.   If DSS has not intervened, even you would have not responded.”

     

    16-03-2007, 20:00

    Convener, DSS spoke to the DSS Women Collectives for half and hour about the situation and assured them that the position is under control and they are safe.  

     

    Present status

     

    Now the situation is completely under control and the dalits in the village are safe.  DSS is constantly visiting the village and ensuring the safety.  Thus DSS has succeeded in preventing a massacre like Tsundur or Karamchedu at Moorjampadu village.  But ironically, the dalits in the village are still afraid of the so-called higher caste authority and are hostile with the victim and his family.  Hence DSS conducted a campaign in this village to strengthen the dalits.

     

    Things have not changed

     

    • The dominative attitude of the dominant castes towards the dalits has not changed.
    • The submissive nature of the dalit men has not changed.
    • The negligent nature of the police towards the atrocities on the dalits has not changed.

     

    But what has changed is the attitude of the dalit women who have stood firm with the support of DSS in the village.  They have indeed got capacitated and strengthened with the awareness and trainings DSS has given.  The women collectives now proudly say that they have solved their own problem.  They have stood for themselves.
