దేశ రాజధానిలో మరో నిర్భయ || Delhi incident shakes India's conscience ||
On Sunday, while fetching water from a crematorium cooler, a nine-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly raped and murdered, and later, hastily cremated, in Purani Nangal village in Delhi. The same night, four men were arrested after the girl’s parents (who are ragpickers) and others from the village staged a protest. The accused were identified as Radhe Shyam, the 55-year-old priest of the crematorium, and three employees, Kuldeep Kumar, Laxmi Narayan, and Mohammad Salim. Relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act have been invoked. A judicial inquiry has been ordered. While several politicians visited the family and demanded action by home minister, Amit Shah, the Centre has not made a statement on the crime so far.
