Girija Vyas pulls up Mayawati Govt. over rising rape cases in UP

In the backdrop of the brutal attack on a minor Dalit girl in Uttar
Pradesh, National Commission for Women chairperson Girija Vyas on
Monday criticized the state administration and the police for their
handling of the rape and abduction cases.

February 7, 2011 - New Delhi

In the backdrop of the brutal attack on a minor Dalit girl in Uttar
Pradesh, National Commission for Women chairperson Girija Vyas on
Monday criticized the state administration and the police for their
handling of the rape and abduction cases.

Vyas said there were no signs of justice being delivered to the
victims and also blamed the police for conducting 'shoddy'
investigations and implicating innocent persons.

"There is no justice for the victims. What police does is nab some
innocent persons to just show that they have acted," said Vyas asking
why no rape case has been referred to fast track courts till date.

Sarika, 17, had to pay with physical torture for resisting gangrape by
three youths of her own village, Udauli in Fatehpur, about 60
kilometers from Kanpur, late on Saturday evening when she was
returning from the fields along with her friend Chaya.

Sarika was allegedly grabbed by three young men, Hari Shankar, Shiv Om
and Ram Ratan, who pounced upon her, molesting her and trying to tear
off her clothes. She, however, managed to raise an alarm.

The Mayawati Government has come under severe criticism following a
number of cases including the Banda case involving the rape of a minor
Dalit girl by Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA Purushottam Naresh
Dwivedi.

The girl was allegedly raped on December 10-11 at Dwivedi's residence.
She escaped from the MLA's house on December 12, when he allegedly
attempted to rape her for the third time and charged her with theft.

Moreover, the kidnapping and harassment charges against Uttar Pradesh
Rural Engineering Services Minister Jaiveer Singh over the payment of
money has recently come into notice, which has further spoiled the
reputation of the BSP Government in Uttar Pradesh.
