A Dalit woman, allegedly misbehaved by her neighbour with caste remarks, on Saturday met Home Special Secretary lalit Das and SC, ST Development and Minorities Secretary Surendra Kumar and sought justice from them.
The woman, Sarojini Sehty, told Das and Kumar that she has been staying with her family in the Mahaveer Nagar area under the lingaraj police station since long. On June 3, her neighbour Ram Chandra Ray abused her using slangs and her caste name in her husband’s absence. He even termed her as a prostitute and attempted to kill her. Though, she filed an FIR and the lignaraj police registered a case, accused Ray was yet to be arrested.
She requested the two officers to take immediate steps to arrest the accused and give her justice. On the other hand, the two officers assured her that an investigation would be conducted into her allegation and action would be taken soon.
Besides, Sarojoni discussed her plight with members of the Ambedkar Dalit Bichar Manch. The manch has threatened to take to the street over the issue.
It is learnt that Ram Chandra Ray had constructed a house on a Government land which was demolished by some unknown persons. He suspected that Sarojini was behind demolition of his house and abused her.
