Dalits flay delay in solving Venur cheating case
Mangalore, Nov 6, DHNS:
Dalit leaders expressed acute contempt over the delay in solving the
Venur atrocities case.
During the SC/ST grievances meet held on Sunday at SP Office in
presence of Superintendent of Police Labhu Ram, Dalit leader Shekar
calling the incident nothing less than an atrocity said that the lady
in question was cheated by a man promising her marriage. He however,
abandoned her without marrying her. The lady gave birth to a baby on
September 10, 2011 in a hospital in Mangalore. Though a case was filed
couple of months ago, the police have not been able to nab the
culprit.
Responding to the same, Investigation Officer, Additional SP
Prabhakar, said that it is wrong on the part of the community members
to say that the police has not done
its duty or is unnecessarily delaying action against the culprit.
"We are on a look out for the culprit who is absconding since a long
time now. On receiving some information, we had even sent team to
Mumbai to track him down, but it was in vain," he said adding that
once the culprit is nabbed, then there is a long procedure of
collecting DNA samples of both the culprit and the baby and receiving
report to see if the samples match. However, collection of details is
going on, said Prabhakar.
Dalit Leader Keshava said that Scheduled Caste families living on 1.80
acre land at Barya village have been left in lurch because attempts
are now on to evict them from this land.
"The land was allotted for Dalits in 1979 but the sanction was
cancelled in 1983. Now some vested interests are trying their level
best to get the Dalit families out of this place," he said adding that
the Dalit families have the right over this land and this right must
be restored.
Responding to this, the SP said that he will direct the Tahshildar
concerned to take up re-survey of the land at the earliest.
Leader S P Anand said that though the grievances meet to be held by
the police department is being conducted regularly, the meeting to be
conducted by the Deputy Commissioner has not been held. "There are a
lot of issues which needs to be brought to the notice of the DC. The
relief available to the Dalits under Atrocities Act, which ranges from
Rs 25,000-50,000, has been reduced to Rs 5,000. This should not have
happened," he said adding that the applications for subsidy for self
employment applied to Ambedkar Welfare Board are not being issued on
time to the applicants.
