| Atrocities against SCs unacceptable: Harsh Dev | | | 
Early Times Report
Jammu, Jun 14: Alleging alarming rise in maltreatment and commission of atrocities against SC Community in Ramnagar and Udhampur constituencies, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister today held a protest seeking personal indulgence of Lt. Governor for upholding the ‘right to life and liberty’ guaranteed to them under the constitution.
He said that despite unabated assaults, threats and misbehaviour with SC people, especially with females, no cognizance whatsoever was being taken by police officers concerned in view of political influence wielded by the perpetrators of such offences. He alleged that local police had succumbed to the dictates of some corrupt BJP leaders who were posing hindrances in the registration of FIRs against the said notorious characters indulging in atrocities against Dalits in the said areas.
Referring to the ugly episode of atrocities inflicted upon the members of SC community last week in Udhampur, Singh said that it was only a tip of the ice-berg. Similar assault was committed upon SC girls on a ‘Bowli’ in Chanunta by some lumpen elements owing allegiance to BJP with the police authorities having pushed the matter under carpet.
And despite the molestation of the said SC girls in Chanunta village by patronized goons, Singh regretted that no action had been taken against criminal despite a lapse of over an year. He revealed that more than 6 mysterious deaths of dalits had occurred in Ramnagar during the past 4-5 years with their siblings alleging their murders but no probes had been held. In at least four cases, the dead bodies of dalits were found hanging on trees or badly mutilated but not a single murder case had been traced. And only recently the Bolero vehicle of a SC leader was burnt to ashes in Kathil, Ramnager by BJP workers but the culprits allowed to go Scot free by an extremely biased police, rued Singh.
Mentioning some of the cases of mysterious deaths/murders of SC Community members in Ramnagar, Singh said that dead body of Shankar Dass S/o Balle R/o Bhela found hanging on a tree on 19-12-2015; dead body of Ramesh S/o Mangtu R/o Kela was found near Satsang dham on 01-06-2015; dead body Sudesh Kumar S/o Shiv Darshan R/o Kanah was found hanging on a tree on 16-05-2019; dead body of Ravi S/o Shankar R/o Seunti was found near Bindraban on 25-02-2015; dead body of Som Raj S/o Laju was found in Ramnagar on 13-04-2015; dead body of Dharam Chand R/o Noul was found near Kulwanta on October 2018 with no enquires whatsoever held into the said cases. He cautioned a full scale agitation if the perpetrators of crimes against poor and SC people were not brought to book at the earliest. |
