Minister seeks report from NCW
Aarti Dhar
Taking serious note of the frequent incidents of sexual assaults on
women in Uttar Pradesh, Minister of State for Women and Child
Development Krishna Tirath on Monday directed the National Commission
for Women to file within two days an investigation report on
Saturday's attack on a Dalit girl in Fatehpur.
The culprits chopped off the girl's ear and part of her hand when she
resisted a rape attempt.
Expressing deep concern and dismay over the rising incidents of crime
against women in the State, Ms. Tirath asked the U.P. government to
take stern measures to protect the citizens from criminal elements.
National Commission for Women chairperson Girija Vyas has sought a
detailed action-taken-report from the U.P. government on the incident.
Expressing shock over the attack, she asked the State government to
ensure that the laws were properly implemented.
Dr. Vyas described the attack on and subsequent death of a 23-year-old
woman rail passenger in Kerala as unfortunate and said she would seek
reports on the incident from Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee and the
State government. [The victim was pushed out of a local train and
raped. After battling for her life for five days, she died on Sunday].
She said attacks were not confined to passengers in ladies
compartments. Women travelling in other compartments also faced such
problems, and these should be addressed.
On the U.P. incident, Dr. Vyas said there were no signs of justice
being delivered to the victims and blamed the police for conducting
"shoddy" investigations and implicating innocent persons.
