- Summary:: Deceased Chakrasen (21) S/o Late Bawan, a resident of Vadewara Village, Post Odeyadihi, PS- Patti in Pratapgarh District, Uttatar Pradesh, belongs to Scheduled Caste (Chamar) community and professes Hindu religion. His father expired many years back, therefore he along with his two younger brother and mother were staying with his grandfather, Shivmurthi who struggled to bring up the children after their father’s death. Chakrasen was the eldest son of his parents and was doing his education in Allahabad University in UP. On 1st Aug’ 07 in the morning at 5.30 a.m. as usual Chakrasen went for a morning walk. Santosh Mishra (55) S/o Hrudayanarayan Mishra, Akash Dube (18) S/o Karunesh Chandra Dube, Indrajit Saroj (35) S/o Matadin Saroj, members of Dominant Caste, were waiting for Chakrasen on the way with a conspiracy to kill him. The perpetrators took hold of Chakrasen, dragged and tied him up with a Neem tree, beat him with sticks and stabbed him with a screwdriver. When his grandfather, mother and two brothers heard about the incident from Raj Kumar Mishra, a local newspaper seller from neighboring village Shekhpur, they rushed to the spot, but the perpetrators threatened his mother with dire consequence that they would kill her other two sons too if she does not go home back. They went to the Patti police station to report the matter; however the police reached the spot very late and the perpetrators had already run away from the spot. The police took the dead body to Patti police station and after a while the victim’s parents also reached Patti police station. The S.H.O Babu Chandra Rajak made them sit for 2 hours in the police station and asked them to go to The Government Hospital in Pratapgarh along with police for the post mortem of the dead body. The S.H.O also threatened Shivmuthi and Agnisen, one of the brothers of deceased Chakrasen that you must cremate the dead body as soon as possible and you must not take any legal or advocacy measures or else I will ask the perpetrators to kill the other two younger brothers of Chakrasen too. The victim’s family came home from Hospital at about 4.00 p. m after the postmortem and cremated the dead body. The perpetrators have not been arrested, and the police have been trying to dismiss the matter quickly. Therefore the local villagers agitated against the inaction of the police and also for the immediate arrest of the culprits. After the protest on 03.08.07, the FIR was registered u/s 302,304,506 IPC & 3(2) v of SC/ST Act against the culprits and the S.H.O of Patti police station has been suspended from his duty. Again on 07.08.07 the police officials went to victim’s house and threatened that you must not to take any action against the perpetrators, and we will give some financial assistance to you. Dubey and Mishra and the Chakrasen have been fighting over a PDS shop for ten months. In the year 2004 Dubey and Mishra were the owner of the PDS shop, however due to corruption the villagers withdrawn them from the ownership PDS and handed over to Shivmurthi, the grandfather of Chakrasen. They could not bear the fact that a Dalit became the ration shop owner instead of them. They often used to forcibly take food grains from the shop without any paying anything and used to sell it in their shop at a higher rate. When Chakrasen heard about this, he used to go to the village every month to oversee the sale and ensure that every villager got his PDS quota. The accused even got angry when he got admission being a Dalit to the Institute of Engineering and Rural Technology in Allahabad. They used to threat him that Chakrasen would never be able to become an engineer. Chakrasen was 21 and he was doing his BA while preparing for his Uttar Pradesh Technical University entrance examination. S.H.O Mr. Babu Chandra Rajak has been suspended. The District administration has not given security to victims
