JAIPUR: A 50-year-old Dalit woman was beaten to death by five persons
after they allegedly branded her witch in Kaniya village under
Gulabpura police station in Bhilwara on Friday. The police have
registered a murder case against the accused persons and have
apprehended few suspected persons for interrogation.
According to sources, Premi Bai of Nahargarh area under Sambhugarh
police station of Bhilwara had come to Kaniya village to visit her
sister. Bai owned a piece of land in Kaniya village and one Ugma
Gujjar had been pressurising her to sell off the land to him but she
did not agree. On this, Ugma along with four others branded her witch
and spread rumour that she entered into the body of one Kamla of same
village and harassed her. On Thursday night, Ugma, Laxmi, Vishnu,
Mahaveer and one other caught hold of her and thrashed her black and
blue, sources said.
Sources said Bai was left on road where she succumbed to her injuries
but her body was not picked up for several hours. It was only on
Friday morning that locals informed police and a team reached the spot
and took the body for post-mortem.
Dy SP, Nihal Meena, who is investigating the case, said police have
got vital information and the accused would be arrested soon. He said
they have detained few persons on the basis of suspicion and their
interrogation is on.
SP Bhilwara, Umesh Chandra Dutta, said the police have registered a
case against five persons, including the main accused Ugma Gujjar and
police teams are conducting raids at identified places in order to nab
the accused persons. Senior police officers are camping in the village
in order to prevent any untoward incident, he said.
