Dalit Girl's Arm Severed in Auria

Anju, a dalit girl of Auriya District in Uttar Pradesh, had her right arm severed by criminals near Achalda Station just because she dared to protest against constant harassment and eve teasing by a group of boys. The main culprit, Viresh Singh, son of Mansingh and his friends had been constantly stalking Anju and passing lewd remarks and trying to molest her. Earlier, on two occasions she had somehow managed to escape. But this time, when she was going to buy vegetables along with her younger sister, she was accosted by Viresh and two others. Anju raised an alarm and fought to release herself but the 3 proved to be too strong a group. Anju's sister ran to tell her parents but in the meantime the culprits had overpowered Anju and had chopped off her right arm right above the elbow with a sharp edged weapon used by butchers to cut animals. When Anju's parents came they found her unconscious and bleeding profusely, but could not find her severed arm. They approached the Achalda police station but their report was not lodged and the police inspector reprimanded them saying this was a case of rail accident which was being deliberately being made out to be a case of attack by youth. When the D.C. was finally approached, he too did not get the case registered, rather sent the girl to Kanpur for treatment. (Auriya is adjoining to Kanpur ). But again nothing was done and the girl did not even get proper medical aid. AIPWA, along with the Dalit Panthers protested against the inaction and demanded arrest of the culprits at the Ramashray Park in Kanpur . Later, other organizations and political parties also began to protest. It was only then that the DIG ordered the C.O. of Achalda P.S. to lodge an FIR, which was finally lodged on the 5 th day of the incident. While Anju was in Hospital in Kanpur , her father and uncle were kidnapped from the hospital premises by the culprits with the help of the police and threatened to withdraw the case or face dire consequences. While the uncle managed to escape, the father's whereabouts is still not known. None of those named in the FIR have been arrested yet. AIPWA has demanded that the culprits be traced immediately and remanded to judicial custody as well Anju's father be rescued and provided security.
