The
incident happened on the night of August 21 and the boy was admitted to
the intensive care unit of the Government Rajaji Hospital where he
underwent multiple surgeries to treat the stab wounds.
RELATED
MADURAI:
A 15-year-old school going dalit boy was inflicted with multiple
injuries on his face, for allegedly speaking to a non-dalit girl, aged
14, in Kumaram village near Madurai.
The
incident happened on the night of August 21 and the boy was admitted to
the intensive care unit of the Government Rajaji Hospital where he
underwent multiple surgeries to treat the stab wounds. Even as the boy's
father had lodged a police complaint against the girl's father who is
absconding, the latter's family has lodged a counter complaint alleging
sexual harassment by the boy.
"We
have launched a hunt for the girl's father. We are yet to ascertain the
veracity of the girl's complaint. Only after a thorough inquiry we
would be able to find if the boy had harassed her. For now, the boy,
undergoing treatment in the hospital has denied harassing the girl," a
police officer said. SP V Balakrishnan had formed a special team to nab
the girl's father M Mani, 45, and has ordered for a thorough inquiry on
both the complaints.
Police
said the boy , N Gokulakrishnan was standing on the outskirts of his
native Kumaram village near Alanganallur on the night of August 21 and
was taking to his uncle Manimaran and relative Bharathi when the girl's
father, a non-dalit of the same village attacked him. Mani, who came to
the spot pulled out a knife and started stabbing the boy on the face.
"The boy suffered deep cuts on the face, wrist, shoulder and ear. His
uncle and relative Bharathi rescued him and fled the place," police
said.
Nagarajan
in his complaint said that Mani had attempted to stab his son in the
abdomen, but he wriggled and managed to escape the attack. As soon as
Nagarajan lodged a complaint, the girl's family too lodged a complaint
against the boy.
A
Kathir, executive director of Evidence, an NGO that went on a
fact-finding visit demanded that the accused be arrested immediately.
"When we inquired the boy, he admitted that he spoke to the girl, but it
was only mutual and not as being made out by her father," he said.
Police said that they have registered a case under several Sections of
IPC including attempt to murder as well as under SC/ ST Prevention of
Atrocities Act.
Two
days before the attack, Mani had visited the house of the 14-year-old
boy and threatened him of dire consequences if he continued speaking to
his daughter. Subsequently, the boy's relatives took the boy to Mani's
house and explained that he was not harassing the girl. In spite of
that, the boy was attacked, alleged the complaint.
Therefore it is a kind request please take appropriate action at earliest.
Thanking you
Sincerely yours
Lenin Raghuvanshi
