Police Brutally Beat and Burnt 50 Huts of Dalit Families Who Settled on Government Land
- Posted by: NDMJ-Bihar
- Date of incident: 21-11-2006
- Create date: 22-03-2014
- State:: Bihar
- District:: PATNA RURAL
- Police station:: Kotwali
- Chargesheet:: No F.I.R, No Chargesheet
- Summary::
The affected Slum is situated at the Old Jail Campus, North of the Patna Rly. Station comes under Kotwali, Patna which just one and a half kilometers from the DM Office. There were 300 thatched houses with nearly 50 dalit houses in the slum belonging to Chamar, Dom, Musahar, Pasi and Dusadh communities which were burnt into ashes.
The indwellers in the slum had built their thatched houses in un registered land which belonged to the Patna Regional Authority because of which in following the order issued by the Patna High Court after the short notice under the clearance of encroached land, the state administration was demolishing the houses using the bulldozer on 21.11.2006.
In the process of demolition of the houses, some miscreants (Unknown) set the houses on fire in which 300 houses were burnt into ashes for which State Administration including the present Chief Minister (Mr. Nitish Kumar) take no responsibilities to the rehabilitate the affected victims. The Chief Minister just appeased and sidelined the issue with a false promise. No administration takes the interest on rehabilitation of the 300 homeless families. Not even the FIR is registered so far even using the prima-facie. The SSP, DM and the Chief Minister of Bihar were interviewed in this regard who clearly stated that they do not know who set their houses on fire instead of investigating into the case seriously.
The victims are still to be rehabilitated. They are not given any relief so far. The Dalit victims who lost all their belongings are still to be compensated. No FIR is registered so far. The District and State Administration is still side lining the affected families.

Sunita Devi (35) W/o Suresh Mochi (40), the resident of Gouriwari village, Gourdah G.P, Salkhua P.S, Saharsa District, Bihar, belongs to Scheduled Caste (Mochi) community. Salkhua P.S, Saharsa District of State Bihar is about 500 kms away from its State capital Patna. On 17th Nov’06 the District administration of Saharsa organized a training program on Panchayati Raj at District Headquarter, Patel ground for all Pachayat representatives of the District. Sunita Devi, the ward member (ward No-15) from Gourdah Panchayat and her husband Suresh Mochi also participated in the program.
After the training Monoj Yadav H/o Nilan Devo, the Sarpanch of Gourdah G.P, belonging to Dominant Caste was distributing food packets and Panchayati Raj books. When Sunita Devi asked for food packet and Panchayat Raj book to Monoj Yadav he said that being a Dalit how dare you are to talk to me like this? (lkyk gfjtu pekj rqe pekj gksdj gels eqg yxkrk g)
In reply Sunita Devi said that food packets and Panchayat Raj books are provided by the administration, it is a right of each member to obtain it.
This statement of Sunita Devi was very much irritating for Lalbahadur Singh; the Gourdah G.P member. He said to the other members of Dominant Caste those who were present there that how dare she is to retort like this being a Dalit woman (Chamar), let us gouge out her eyes. lkyk pekj gksdj bruk cksyrk gS lkys pekj dks vWk[k fudky yks . Unexpectedly, Monoj Yadav attacked Suresh Mochi with a knife on his left eyebrow. He sustained terrible bleeding from his eyebrow.
After the incident at 7.00 p.m Monoj Yadav, H/o of Nilam Devi, along with his other 3/4 supporters followed the couple putting mask on their faces while the victim couple were on their way back home. They met the couple on the way in between Salakhua village and Gouriwari village. They slapped Suresh Mochi 3/4 times and snatched Rs 500/- and a watch from him and threatened them with dire consequences if they reported the matter to anyone. The victims went to lodge complaint in the Salkhuwa P.S but the Incharge advised them to solve the matter through Panchayat instead of registering FIR. Later on Suresh Mochi lodged complaint in Saharsa court on 02.12.06. The assailants have been scot-free; the police have not arrested them till now.
