LUCKNOW: BSP Aligarh unit chief Moolchandra Baghel and four others
have not been arrested so far for publicly humiliating a ''mentally
challenged'' dalit woman at Aligarh on June 2.
Two days after the incident, the UP government on Friday refuted media
reports that the victim was stripped and paraded naked. It, however,
admitted that the woman's hands and legs were tied and she was
assaulted in full public view. The government also said the woman had
got violent and had to be controlled.
Virma Devi of Chandaukha village in Aligarh district had gone to
attend a religious congregation in the village where Baghel was
present. Reports reaching here said organizer Netrapal Baghel had
promised Virma Devi to plead her case before Moolchand for some
financial assistance from the government. When Virma reminded him of
his promise, Netrapal got angry and allegedly drove Virma Devi out of
the pandal.
