Parents of missing dalit woman await justice
BIKRAM GIRI
DARCHULA, June 24: For three weeks the blood relatives of Dalli Lohar
have been unable to decide whether she was killed or has gone missing.
To make matters worse, the police have told them that they will have
to wait for another three months to be sure about the status of Dalli.
Dalli´s blood relatives claim that she was murdered by her in-laws.
Police started investigating into the status of the 28-year-old woman
on May 31, three days after Dalli´s elder brother Sobiram lodged a
complaint. Police later found blood marks, hair, clippers and clothes
at Brahmadev-4 and sent samples to Kathmandu for lab tests. The tests
will take three months to produce results.
"It took a week for the samples to reach Kathmandu," said Police
Inspector Khadga Singh Bhandari. "It will take three months to
ascertain whether she was killed or is missing," he added.
Dalli´s blood relatives have lodged a complaint claiming that seven
people of Brahmadev-4 are responsible for hiding Dalli´s dead body.
Police have detained Dalli´s husband Kanar Ram Lohar and father-in-law
Kukure Lohar, apart from Karbir Karki, Gaganram Lohar, Dhanjit Lohar
and Lato Lohar.
But the main accused, Jay Singh Karki, who is alleged to have
maintained illicit relations with Dalli, is at large.
Dalli´s parents live in an Indian village bordering Nepal. They
shifted to the village seeing better opportunities there to work for
daily wages.
Her husband works in Malaysia. Villagers say Dalli was in a
relationship with Jay Singh Karki. After word spread about this, Karki
gave Dalli´s in-laws Rs 40,000 to hush things up, after which the
issue was settled. But Dalli´s husband returned from Malaysia and
refused to accept Dalli as his wife.
