The National Human Rights Commission has called for a report on the alleged gang rape of an 18-year-old Dalit student in a government college in Patiala, Nabha. At the same time, the police has added SC/ST Act in the FIR.
The victim’s father said, ‘My daughter had a dream of doing something big in life. Despite being a daily wage labourer, I ensured his good higher education. Due to kidney disease his weight is barely 32 kg. Now I will never send her to college.… I am a Dalit and despite all the opposition from my relatives, I always wanted my daughter to become an officer. But his and my dreams are over.
The victim, who is now living with a close relative, says that what happened to her and that too inside the college, has left her heartbroken. The victim told her parents that the three accused took turns to rape her and threatened her with murder, saying that they could gang rape her again. The victim’s father said, it is strange that hundreds of students study there but no one came to her rescue.
According to the allegation, all three accused of gang rape inside the college on March 27 are outsiders, but used to come to the college often. The victim student gathered courage and told her parents on April 7 and then complained to the police. Police have arrested two accused – Davinder Singh and Ravneet Singh – after registering an FIR on April 9, while police are conducting raids in search of Harry.
