Dalit gangraped, set on fire in western UP

GREATER NOIDA: Even as unprecedented security measures were put in
place in western Uttar Pradesh before the Ayodhya verdict, a dalit
woman was gang-raped and set on fire in Bulandshahr's Gulaoti area and
a dalit minor was gang-raped at gunpoint in neighbouring Greater
Noida.
The Bulandshahr victim sustained over 80% burn injuries. She has been
admitted to a hospital in the capital and doctors say chances of her
survival are bleak.
According to police sources, four persons abducted a woman from her
home in Lahogla locality in Gulaoti on Tuesday evening. The four
accused Saddam, Boora, Sajid and Majid are residents of two
neighbouring villages. They took the woman to a secluded field in a
village and raped her by turn.
Then, the four actually dropped the victim to her home threatening her
to not inform the police. She told them she would get them arrested.
Her younger sister had also been raped a few months ago.
Fearing imprisonment, the four men picked up a bottle of kerosene from
the victim's house, poured it on her and set her afire. Police
arrested two of the perpetrators, while two are absconding.
In the Gopalgarh area in Jewar in Greater Noida, a 15-year-old girl
had gone to the fields to relieve herself on Wednesday evening when
two Jat neighbours, Anuj Chowdhary and Lala, kidnapped her at
gunpoint. They raped her at a nearby secluded spot. Both the men are
absconding.
In another incident a 40-year-old dalit woman, who has five kids, was
raped by 20-year-old Yogesh in Palenda in Greater Noida. The accused
was known to the victim. The village panchayat gave her Rs 60,000 as
compensation and tried to hush up the incident. When the victim was
approached by police, she remained evasive.
