Cop held for threatening kin of honour killing victim
Express News Service Posted online: Tue Jan 18 2011, 04:11 hrs
New Delhi : A constable has been arrested for allegedly threatening
the brother of a victim of honour killing, who was gunned down along
with his wife in Northwest Delhi's Ashok Vihar area in June last year.

The deceased Kuldeep (26) and his wife Monica Khari had married
against the wishes of their families.

Constable Praveen Kumar was arrested after Amit Singh, Kuldeep's
brother complained that he was being threatened against testifying in
court.

According to the police, the couple was shot dead by Monica's brother
Ankit and his friends after the former was reportedly mocked by
community members for allowing the marriage. The accused, who is
posted at the security lines, is a distant relative of Ankit, the
police said.

[ZESTCaste] Protest by Mirchpur resident continues

Protest by Mirchpur resident continues

PTI | 01:01 PM,Jan 18,2011

Jind, Jan 18 (PTI) The indefinite sit-in on railway tracks by
residents of Mirchpur village seeking fresh probe into the killing of
two Dalits in April last year entered the fourth today, disrupting
rail traffic on the Jind-Jakhal section of the Delhi-Ferozepur route.
Members of the pre-dominant Jat community, including women, were
sitting on the tracks at Julani village near Jind railway station. The
protesters belong to Mirchpur and adjoining villages. Police personnel
have been deployed to maintain peace in view of the dharna. Railway
traffic on the Delhi-Ferozepur section has been disrupted due to the
dharna, the call for which was issued by a Jat Mahapanchayat of 42
khaps here recently demanding a fresh probe into the Mirchpur
incident, including the decision to book members of their community.
Railway sources said that trains have been been diverted via other
routes, including Jakhal. Though Mirchpur village falls in Hisar
district the protesters are squatting on rail tracks in Jind as their
village is only 15 kms from here. The protesters postponed their plan
to stage a dharna in Bhiwani today. A Delhi court had on January 9
directed the Haryana Government to move all the 98 accused from Hisar
jail to a prison in the national capital following the transfer of
their trial in the case relating to the attack on Dalits allegedly by
members of the upper caste Jat community. The case relating to the
killing of 70-year-old Dalit Tara Chand and his 17-year-old
polio-stricken daughter Suman, was transferred to a special court in
Delhi by an order of the Supreme Court on December 9 last year. The
protesters have opposed the shifting of the trial of the case to a
court at Rohini in New Delhi and lodging of the accused in a prison in
the national capital and demanded that the probe be held either at
Rohtak or Hisar and the accused be lodged in either of the two jails.
The trial was shifted to a Rohini court after the aggrieved party had
approached the Supreme Court claiming that a fair trial was not
possible within the state. Tara Chand and his daughter were killed
when their house was set afire on April 21 last year in Mirchpur
district after which 98 members of the Jat community were booked in
connection with the case.

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/court-to-hear-banda-girls-confinement-case/140764-3.html

Banda, January 18, 2011
Fourth accused in Banda rape case surrenders
PTI

The fourth absconding accused in the dalit girl rape case, in which
BSP MLA Purshottam Naresh Dwiwedi and his two aides have been
arrested, surrendered in a local court here on Tuesday.

Ravan Garg surrendered before Chief Judicial Magistrate Tripta
Chaudhary who remanded him to judicial custody for 14 days, officials
said here.

The three other accused — BSP MLA Dwiwedi and his accomplices Rajendra
Shukla and Surendra Neta — were arrested last week and are in judicial
custody.

All the four accused were indicted by the CB-CID in its report
submitted with the government after which an FIR was lodged against
them and orders were issued for their arrest.

The 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by the MLA and molested by
his accomplices on December 10 and 12 last year.

She was later arrested on charges of theft by police and sent to jail.

However, the CB-CID in its report said that theft charges against her
were not true after which she was released from the jail.

[ZESTCaste] Dalit woman resists rape, set ablaze in Punjab

Dalit woman resists rape, set ablaze in Punjab
Neel Kamal, TNN, Jan 17, 2011, 12.39am IST

Tags:Dalit woman|Behniwal police post
MANSA (Punjab): A dalit woman was set on fire in Punjab's Mansa
district after she resisted the attempts of an upper caste farmer to
rape her. The woman died on Sunday morning.

The accused, Sandeep Singh, was booked for murder but he is
absconding, said police.

Singh and the woman lived in the same village. Her husband is a tailor
while she worked as a farm labourer. On Friday evening, when she was
alone at home, Singh barged in and attempted to rape her. The woman
fought hard to resist him. Singh then poured kerosene on her, set her
ablaze and ran away.

On hearing the women's cries, neighbours rushed to her help. Her
family members took her to a Bathinda hospital. ''Her condition was
grave and she was shifted to Baba Farid Medical College at Faridkot,''
her husband said.

She died of burn injuries on Sunday morning, said Behniwal police post
head Rajinder Singh. Police are looking for Singh.
