Arrest Dalit children’s killers: CPI-M

Faridabad (Haryana): The CPI-M on Wednesday demanded the immediate arrest of those who killed two Dalit children here.

“It is the utter failure of the administration which ignored the complaints of the Dalit family because of which two innocent babies were burnt to death,” CPI-M leader Brinda Karat said.

A CPI-M delegation visited Sunpeda village here and met Jitender Kumar, whose nine-month-old daughter Dibbu and two-year-old son Vaibhav were burnt to death in an arson attack by upper castes.

His wife, Rekha, is fighting for her life in a hospital.

Karat quoted the distraught father as asking: “What is the crime committed by my babies and my wife?”

The man alleged that the killers came at night and threw petrol through an open window and set fire to the house, killing the children and seriously injuring his wife.

“I want justice, but the administration is biased against us,” he said.

Karat accused the Haryana government of not giving credence to the complaints of Dalits.

“Even 36 hours later, the chief minister has not bothered to visit the village nor has he deputed any senior minister to the village.”

Officials told the delegation that only four of the 11 people named in the police complaint had been arrested.

Karat demanded the immediate arrest of all the accused, action against erring police officials, adequate compensation to the family and investigation by agencies independent of the Haryana government.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
