A 10-year-old boy from Seelampur in East Delhi, who had been allegedly sexually assaulted by his friends on September 18, has succumbed to his injuries. The boy breathed his last on the morning of October 1 while being treated at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Delhi government’s Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital (LNJP).

He had been brought to the hospital on September 22, three days after he had been sexually assaulted, the delay in getting proper and timely medical attention may have cost the boy his life. According to NDTV, the hospital contacted the police, but the parents did not make a statement until September 24, and that too only after receiving counselling. The mother told the police that the boys attacked her son due to the family’s inability to repay a debt. The three accused are also minors said to be in the age group of 10-12 years.

The police then filed a case against the accused under sections 377 (Unnatural offences) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Protection Of Children Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) had also issued notice to the police. According to the DCW, the mother had filed a complaint saying that the three boys had beaten her son with bricks and rods and also inserted a rod in his private parts.

Two of the three accused boys have been caught so far, while the third is absconding. The two boys who have been apprehended, were presented before the juvenile justice board. But according to Times of India, they were released when their families gave an undertaking.

'Hundreds of Rohingyas' killed in Myanmar crackdown: Army has carried out mass killings of Muslim minority in Rakhine province, UN rights office says, in possible ethnic cleansing.

In a report released just three days ago, on February 3, 2017 the United Nations human rights arm said that the widespread human rights violations against the Rohingya population by Myanmar's security forces in the country's northern Rakhine state indicate the very likely commission of crimes against humanity. The 43-page Flash report may be read here.

The flash report – released by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) based on its interviews with people who fled Myanmar after attacks on a border post in early October, the ensuing counter military operations and a lockdown in north Maungdaw – documents mass gang-rape, killings, including of babies and young children, brutal beatings, disappearances and other serious human rights violations by the country's security forces.

“The devastating cruelty to which these Rohingya children have been subjected is unbearable – what kind of hatred could make a man stab a baby crying out for his mother's milk. And for the mother to witness this murder while she is being gang-raped by the very security forces who should be protecting her,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein.
“What kind of 'clearance operation' is this? What national security goals could possibly be served by this?”

The gravity and scale of these allegations begs the robust reaction of the international communityHigh Commissioner Zeid

Houses deliberately set on fire, people pushed inside burning houses – report

The report also cites consistent testimony indicating that hundreds of Rohingya houses, schools, markets, shops, madrasas and mosques were burned by the army, police and sometimes civilian mobs. Witnesses also described the destruction of food and food sources, including paddy fields, and the confiscation of livestock.
It also noted that several people were killed in indiscriminate and random shooting – many while fleeing for safety.

Army or Rakhine villagers locked an entire family, including elderly and disabled people, inside a house and set it on fire, killing them all-Report

Numerous testimonies collected from people from different village tracts…confirmed that the army deliberately set fire to houses with families inside, and in other cases pushed Rohingyas into already burning houses,” the report states.

“Testimonies were collected of several cases where the army or Rakhine villagers locked an entire family, including elderly and disabled people, inside a house and set it on fire, killing them all.”

Many witnesses and victims also described being taunted while they were being beaten, raped or rounded up, such as being told “you are Bangladeshis and you should go back” or “What can your Allah do for you? See what we can do?”

The gruesome death of Delta Meghwal, a talented 17 year old studying to become a teacher, on March 29, 2016, at the hostel of the Jain Adarsh Teacher Training Institute for Girls at Nokha in Barmer, Rajasthan is not a suicide and a gross collusion between the woman warden, institution head and others holding responsible positions cannot be ruled out. A Rajasthan based Fact Finding Team of the National Human Rights Organisation (NHRO) conducted a preliminary investigation and has released its report. This can be read here.

The delay in reporting the discovery of Delta’s body at 7 a.m. on March 29 for several hours and the removal of the body without videography or panchnama further raises serious questions about possible attempts to destroy evidence and create a narrative that is aimed at concealing the truth. Parents of Delta were also not kept informed by the authorities. A high level independent investigation, that too by CBI, is required to arrive at the truth. These are the key conclusions of the fact finding team’s report.

Further, the concealment of an incident the day before on March 28, 2016 by the warden, Priya Shukla has made matters much worse. If she had dealt with the incident of the day before seriously, Delta’s life may have been saved. The fact that a male PT teacher was given accommodation within a girls hostel also raises serious questions for the institutional heads and all the authorities.

Sabrangindia had reported on what women’s campaign groups have called a rape and murder of a Dalit student allegedly by the PT Teacker, Vrijendra Singh. Though Singh has been arrested, the chairman of the institute, Eashwar Chand Ved, has over the past week, been absconding.On March 29, 2016  the dead body of Delta Meghwal, a 17 year old Dalit girl from a village in Barmer district of Rajasthan was found in the water tank of the Jain Adarsh Teacher Training Institute for girls in Nokha, Bikaner where she was studying. The police took her body in a municipal garbage carrying vehicle (tractor) without videographing it.

According to the FIR filed by her parents, there were only four girls at the hostel as all the other girls had gone home and had not returned by then. A day before, on the evening of March 28, at 8 pm, she had called her father and told him that their Warden Priya Shukla had sent her to the PT Instructor Vijendra Singh's room, with the excuse of cleaning the hostel (this shows the clear collusion of the warden in the case). The Complaint of the parents can be read here.

Brief Report of the Factfinding Team

Jain Adarsh teacher training institute for girls in Nokha, Bikaner (Rajasthan).

Delta Meghwal was the resident of Barmer Garda Road, Barmer

The Team met family members of Delta Meghwal, community members from the Village, teachers and school administration, and the local police

Obsevations

On March 29, 2016 when news of her death came, the body of Delta Meghwal was found in a terrible condition, drowned in a water tank behind the girl’s hostel.

Police officials of the Nokha police station removed the body (without recording the condition through videography nor recording a panchnama). The garbage carrying vehicle of the Nagar Nigham used to take out garbage was used to take the body to the local hospital for the post mortem. Family members of Delta have submitted a Complaint to the police that states that the PT teacher Vijendra Singh had first raped, then killed her and thereafter discarded the body in the water tank. Thereafter the story of the suicide was concocted in a bid to mislead the administration.

According to the Complaint filed by her parents, there were only four girls at the hostel as all the other girls had gone home and had not returned by then. A day before, on the evening of March 28, at 8 pm, Delta had called her father and told him that their Warden Priya Shukla had sent her to the PT Instructor Vijendra Singh's room, with the excuse of cleaning the hostel (this shows the clear collusion of the warden in the case, says the report).

The Fact-Finding was conducted on April 1, 2016. Members of the team included Ansar Indori, Dr Kalpana Begu, Mehiboob Ali Chittod and Abdul Naim Kota reached Nokha. Jugal Hatila a local activist also joined the team.

The Team visited the Police Station at Nokha and spoke to Investigating Officer (IO) Satnam Singh, Additional SP and other officers Prakishu Puja Yadav, IPS, though they were initially made to wait a long time.

IO Satnam Singh
The IO Satnam Singh gave his version which is as follows:
One of the staff/ workers of the Jain Adarsh Vidyala had informed the police that a student had committed suicide by jumping into a water tank on March 29. About 1 p.m. that afternoon, two police officials, one Kanhailal and Sandeep Lalit were sent to spot; the body was retrieved and sent to the mortuary of the local hospital for the post mortem. The IO also said that the PM report became available on March 31. The body had signs of injuries; there was no sign of water in the lungs.  Explaining this phenomenon, the IO said that often when those who drown have blockages in their food pipe due to which water does not get into the body!!! (Delta’s body was found several hours after she was found missing !)

The IO further said, “We have arrested PT teacher Vijendra Singh. He would be produced on April 1, 23016. Apart from sections 376(3)  of the IPC, sections of the Atrocities Act and POSCO Act have been applied to him. Only after the FSL report arrives a decision on applying Section 302 (murder) will be taken. “

The IO added, “The chairman of the institute, Eashwar Chand Ved is absconding. From others we have found that on the night of March 28, 2016, very late, 2 a.m. or so, the girl was found in the PT Teacher’s room. Both had admitted their ‘mistake’ and written an ‘apology.’ The IO also said  that knowledge of a relationship between the PT teacher and the girl had been coming to light for the past 2-3 months. The IO said that we are trying to get details of this from the mobile phones. The written report from the father of the girl was received by March 30. It is on the basis of that report that we have filed an FIR.”

(The Fact Finding Team has noted: The incident took place on March 29, 2016. Even after 24 hours the Police had not, by itself registered any FIR. In this amount of time, evidence can be destroyed; or those involved in the crime can abscond; a fake account can even be manufactured)

Following this, the Team reached the College where the BED college principle, Dr Rajendra Srimali met them in his office. 

Rajendra Srimali, Principal:
“Four different units run in within institution that include a CBSE secondary school, a degree college, a BSTC College and a BED College. In the past five months, I have also been given charge of the BSTC college.

“Delta Meghwal, is a a student from Garad Road, Barmer, daughter of Mahendra Ram Meghwal. Vijendra Singh, joined as PT teacher four months ago. Vijendra Singh was known to  Priya Shukla (the warden) and her husband, PP Shukla.  The couple recommended him.
Apart from a girls hostel, the premises also have some staff quarters. A little farther from the staff quarters are some other rooms in which Vijendra Singh was staying. He is married but his wife had not joined him.”
The principal also said that he got to know of the incident of the dead body of a student being found only on the afternoon of March 29, 2016. By this date, only four students had returned to the girls hostel after the Holi vacation. Priya Shukla is the warden of the hostel.
“It is the Warden only who could give all the details of what happened on March 28 and 29.”

Priya Shukla, Hostel of the Girls Hostel
Then Priya Shukla was called to Principal Srimali’s room.
Without the team even asking a question Priya Shukla began her account:
“I officially do not hold the post of Hostel Warden. But the administration had given me this responsibility as I stayed in the staff quarters. On March 28, around 12 noon I was informed that a girl named Delta was not in the hostel. At the time only four students had returned to the girls hostel after the Holi vacation.

“It was Leela Madam, holding the post of Nurse and staying with the students in the girls hostel, who phoned me and informed me of the girl’s absence. All of us began hunting for the girl since it was late at night and I even called my husband, PP Shukla to join the search.
“ I also called Vijendra Singh on the phone to help in the search. When he did not come out of his room for a long time, I knocked on his door which he opened after quite some time. He was told to help in the search for Delta who is missing. When Vijendra Singh tried to shut the door of his room, I got suspicious and went inside the room and put the light on. Delta was present there.

“When questioned, the PT teacher said ‘Delta had asked for awlas (berries) and come to get them’. It was 1.30 a.m. Both Delta and Vijendra accepted their ‘wrongdoing” and promised not to make such mistakes in future. Both were asked to write ‘maafi naaamas' (apologies)."

This incident was obviously attempted to be buried and no efforts made by the Warden to speak to Delta Meghwal on her own the whole of the next day after this incident.

Priya Shukla continued,
“On March 29, 2016 at about 7 am, again, it was Leela Madam who said to me that Delta was missing from the student’s hostel. The hunt for her began. At about 11 a.m. the chowkidar (guard) said that Delta's body is lying in the water tank. Then he informed the chairman Easwar Chand Ved, who called the police who removed the body from the tank.

Hanuman the chowkidar did not meet the team and his account therefore could not be recorded.

The team also met one Ghansiram Meghwal who does the work of masonry within the institute. He said about a fortnight earlier, the chairman, Easwar Chand Ved had told him that the tank near the girls hostel was leaking due to which water was seeping out; and asked him to repair it. He said he had not yet repaired it. Delta Meghwal’s body was found here.

The team also met with the Principal of the Nokha Government  Upper Primary School (Rajkiya Uccha Prathamik Vidyalaya Pradhan Adhyapak), Suresh Hathila. He recounted his assessment of Delta Meghwal.
Suresh Hathila said that Delta was a serious student and an extremely mature girl. Her BST Lesson Plans had been given in his school. Her way of teaching was creative and impressive. She worked very hard to prepare her lesson plans. She was very interested and good at art. She had got recognition from the chief minister of the state for this. How can such a student commit suicide? It is a very unfortunate incident, a tragedy; because of which Dalit students, especially girl students will feel very insecure. We demand that those guilty should face severe and exemplary punishment, he said.


Findings:

  1. If after the March 28 2016 incident Priya Shukla, her husband and other staff members  had — instead of shrouding it in secrecy (and only believing the PT Teacher Vijendra Singh’s version) immediately informed responsible persons from institution and the police then Delta could have been saved from death
  2. The allocation of a room for a male PT Teacher within a Girls Hostel is a grave act of irresponsibility on the part of the administration and management
  3. On March 29 2016 at about 7 a.m. when Delta’s absence was intimated to Priya Shukla for the second time, her duties as a Hostel Warden required that she should have immediately informed responsible authorities of the institution, including the Principal. Her not doing so raises serious questions and raises grave suspicion(s).
  4. The water tank in which Delta was found dead has a depth of six feet. Significantly, the tank is fully covered; only a 1.5 foot X 1.5 foot hole exists which has a lid on top.  The lid has a hole for a lock and an old lock was seen by the team on the lid. But it was not locked. Why? Not locking the tank is an act of grave responsibility on the part of the Warden, Principal and Chairman of the institution.
  5. From the size of the opening on the tank, it is highly unlikely that a healthy young woman of 5 foot four could have entered inside at all.
  6. The fact that the police did not record the recovery of the body through videography deepens suspicions. Neither was a panchnama of the body performed.
  7. After the body was removed, press reporter Pavan Kumar himself took photos of the body. There were injuries on the body and blood was oozing out of one year. Bleeding from the ear in a death supposedly caused by drowning does not add up and further raises questions and suspicions.
  8. Delta is from a poor Dalit family who has no political backing and support. There is every chance that the authorities and chairman of the Jain Adarsh Vidyalaya will use clout and other means to ensure that the case does not read fruition and justice is not delivered.

From these preliminary findings, NCHRO reaches the conclusion that Delta Meghwal has not committed suicide.
Her death has been caused by serious circumstances that require a high level independent investigation.  
The NHRO also demands that the CBI should be brought in to enable the truth to emerge
NCHRO believes that young girls and women living in the Hostels of Educational Institutions are in danger if those guilty in this case are not given exemplary and prompt punishment in this case. The dignity of women and girls will not be safeguarded.

 No Justice for Delta Meghwal, a 17 year old Dalit girl raped and killed in BJP-ruled Rajasthan


 ​

Delta was a 17 years old Dalit girl from a village near the Pakistan border in Barmer district of Rajasthan. She was persuading her BSTC (a course afert 10+2, to become a school teacher) from Jain Adarsh teacher training institute for girls in Nokha, Bikaner (Rajasthan).

She was a brilliant student and an amazing painter, having topped in an Art competition in whole of Rajasthan when she was in Stad XI. One of her artworks was featured in an art magazine published by Rajasthan secretariat in 2006, when she was just 7 years old.

On the morning of March 29, her dead body was found in the water tank of her hostel under suspicious conditions. Police took her body in a municipal garbage carrying vehicle (tractor) without videographing it. According to institution, she committed suicide because they caught her in PT teacher Vijendra Kumar’s room, and they had warned both and asked them to write an apology.
 
— Now the question is, why did the Institution not inform her parents?
 
— Why did the Institute not sack the PT teacher and file a complaint against him as she was a minor?
 

 The Real Story

 Four days ago, on March 29, 2016  the dead body of Delta Meghwal, a 17 year old Dalit girl from a village in Barmer district of Rajasthan was found in the water tank of the Jain Adarsh Teacher Training Institute for girls in Nokha, Bikaner where she was studying. The police took her body in a municipal garbage carrying vehicle (tractor) without videographing it.

According to the FIR filed by her parents, there were only four girls at the hostel as all the other girls had gone home and had not returned by then. A day before, on the evening of March 28, at 8 pm, she had called her father and told him that their Warden Priya Shukla had sent her to the PT Instructor Vijendra Singh's room, with the excuse of cleaning the hostel (this shows the clear collusion of the warden in the case).

There, Delta was allegedly raped by Vijendra Kumar Singh, the PT teacher.

The Institute , in an attempt to cover up the incident, obtained a written apology from both her and the PT Instructor with a statement that the brute sexual assault of rape was ‘with mutual consent.’ The usual strategy of victim blaming was used in the most brutal manner against a 17 yr old girl. mainstream English newspapers have not yet covered the issue. It did not inspire national debates on the safety of girl students in hostels or caste based sexual violence. This news report in Hindi gives a chilling perspective on the rape and killing if true.

Several glaring questions remain unanswered:

Why did the college administration not take action and file a police case against Vijendra Kumar Singh, since the girl is legally a minor?
Why were the parents not informed?
Why did the college force a letter that the abuse was a consensual relationship?
Why did the police use a garbage tractor to take the body?
Why was due process not followed?
Why was a minor Dalit girl sent to the room of a male PT teacher and forced to clean the hostel in the first place?

In the light of these atrocities against young Delta Meghwal, Campaign Groups have demanded –

​​JUSTICE FOE DELTA

1. Criminal action to be taken against the principal of the college, Eashwar Chand Vaid and warden Priya Shukla who are complicit in the rape and murder of Delta and subsequent covering up of the case.
2. Criminal action be taken against Vijendra Singh for rape and murder of Delta Meghwal.
3. Police officers who removed the body with a garbage tractor without videographing it to be suspended from service immediately and atrocities case to be registered against them
4. A Prevention of Atrocities (SC/ST) to be filed against the college administration, principal Eashwar Chand Vaid, warden Priya Shukla,  PT master Vijendra Singh ( in addition to other criminal cases of rape, murder and criminal conspiracy)
5. An independent, high level enquiry to be done into the case and the legal proceedings to happen through fast track court to ensure speedy justice.
6.  Although we realise that no compensation given will bring any semblance of justice, we also demand  compensation of 50 lakhs to be given to the family of Delta Meghwal.
7. The government to withdraw recognition to Nokha Jain College and students completing their studies must be transferred to another college.
8. The name of the school in Trimohi village in which she studied , must be changed to the Delta Meghwa Trimohi
9. At the state level for Dalit girls,  Delta Meghwal State Scholarship should be introduced.

There are also appeals to the mainstream media to cover this issue and the protests for justice for Delta Meghwal and end their silence on caste based sexual violence.

A protest was organised on April 2, in front of Town Hall, Bangalore at 5 pm, to demand Justice For Delta Meghwal. People’s Union for Civil :Liberties (PUCL) rajasthan also organised a protest on April 2, 2016 and issued the following press release:

डेल्टा मेघवाल के हत्यारों को गिरफ्तार करो 

नोखा के जैन कॉलेज के प्रबंधन को संरक्षण देना बंद करो 

 
आज 40 से अधिक सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता विनोबा ज्ञान मंदिर में मिले।  जिसमे  डॉ. पवन सुराणा  डॉ. लाड कुमारी जैन, रेणुका पामेचा, राधा कांत सक्सेना, सवाई सिंह , तारा चाँद, हरकेश बुगालिया, सुमित्रा चोपड़ा, निशा सिद्धू , शामिल थे।  नोखा के जैन कॉलेज में BS TC  की छात्र डेल्टा मेघवाल के साथ बलात्कार व हत्या 29 मार्च को हुई. PTI विजेंद्र चौधरी के द्वारा  बलत्कार करने के अलावा हॉस्टल वार्डन प्रिया की भूमिकर बलात्कार की साजिश में   व प्रबंधन सचिव ईश्वर बैद के साथ बलात्कार को ढकने में और छात्रा की हत्या में पूरा हाथ है. 
 
डेल्टा मेघवाल की निर्मम हत्या को लेकर सभी में रोश था. इस मसले को कड़ी शब्दों में निदा की गयी. सभी का मानना था की यह बहुत गम्भीर मसला था क्योंकि अगर जैन कॉलेज वाले चाहते तो छात्रा की जान बचाई जा सकती थी।  आखिर 28 मार्च की शाम को जब उन्होंने डेल्टा से  लिखवाया की उसने गलती की है, जो [प्रक्रिया ही  गैर कानूनी थी ), उसके बजाय कॉलेज प्रबंधन को  पुलिस को सूचित करना चाहिए था की PTI ने एक छात्रा से बलात्कार किया है और उसको उसी वक्त गिरफ्तार करवाना था। यह सुचना नहीं देना ही अपने में POCSO कानून  की धारा  21 का उल्लंघन है जो लगायी जनि चाहिए।
 
क्योंकि अभी तक  सिर्फ PTI गिरफतार हुआ है। जब तक सभी गिरफ्तार नहीं होते तब तक आंदोलन जारी रखना होगा। उसी के तहत इसकी शुरूआत आज आंबेडकर सर्किल से शुरू करनी चाहिए।  तय हुआ शाम 5. ३० बजे सर्किल पर इकट्ठा होकर प्रदर्शन करना चाहिए। 
 
यह भी तय हुआ की 
पुलिस जांच नोखा से बाहर आनी चाहिए। मांग तो CBI की करते रहेंगे, पर राजस्थान सरकार का हमेशा रुख रहा है नहीं देने,  इसलिए जब तक CBI में नहीं जाती, IG के नीचे बीकानेर में ही जांच हो. CID – C.B में  जांच देना तो ठंडे बस्ते में जाएगी। 
इस  मामले में तुरंत गृह मंत्री से मिलना चाहिए और मुख्य मंत्री से समय मांगना चाहिए।  HM कल मिलेंगें। 
50 लाख का मुआवज़ा दिया जाए। 
डेल्टा मेघवाल के गांव  त्रिमोही के स्कूल को उसके नाम में बदला जाए। 
डेल्टा मेघवाल के नाम पर राज्य स्तरीय दलित लड़कियों के लिए  एक स्कालरशिप स्थापित की जाये। यह भी तय किया जाये की :

एक राज्य स्तरीय जांच समिति सभी संगठनों की नोखा 3 अप्रैल की रात या 4 सुबह बीकानेर पहुंचेगी ।  NFIW, AIDWA, AIDMM, PUCL, HRLN के एक, एक, साथी जायेंगे। इसके अलावा  बीकानेर और अजमेर के संगठन भी जुड़ेंगे।  जांच दाल नोखा, बीकानेर के  बाद गडरा रोड भी  जायेगा।  स्थानीय उरमूल के साथियों, एकल  नारी शक्ति संगठन के साथी व अन्य संगठनों के प्रतिनिधि से भी मिलेगा 
तथयांवेशन की टोली को डेल्टा की हत्या और बलातकार की जांच तो करेगा,  इसके अलावा जांच में बरती कोताई पर भी गौर करेगा । साथ ही जैन कॉलेज की अन्य छात्रों से मिलेगा, शिकायत आई है की पहले भी योनिक हिंसा के मामले हुए है,जीने दबा दिया है. अभी लड़कियों पर चुप्पी रखने के लिए दबाव बनाया जा रहा है। 

बाडमेर में स्थित डेल्टा के माता पिता इत्यादि से मिल कर भरोसा दिलवाना चाहिए की वे पीछे नहीं हटें चाहे दबाव कितना भी हो. .
