Rights group demands that the cases be tried in fast-track courts

New Delhi: A leading Dalit rights group on Wednesday described the fatal gang rape and torture of a teenaged Dalit girl in Hathras as the tip of an iceberg of atrocities against deprived segments of the population in Uttar Pradesh.

The National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) blamed the indifference of the police for the increasing assaults on Dalit women in Uttar Pradesh and demanded that all these cases be tried in fast-track courts.

In a statement, the organisation said that more than a half-dozen assaults on Dalit women and girls had been reported from Lakhimpur Kheri district alone in the past two months. Six instances of abduction and rape have been reported from Saharanpur district.

“These gruesome incidents of sexual violence reflect the real picture of Indian society, constructed on violent casteist patriarchal structure,” the statement said.

Data collated from the National Crime Record Bureau’s reports suggest that Uttar Pradesh witnessed the highest number of atrocities against Dalit women in India between 2014 and 2018.

Altogether 7,920 cases of atrocities against Dalit women were registered under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act in the state during this period.

These included 3,421 cases of assault, 2,410 rapes and 1,870 kidnappings.
