A dalit’s house was allegedly set on fire, leaving four of his teenaged children critically injured, in Kanpur while another dalit was allegedly burnt to death in Kannauj district, on Monday. Both incidents were reported to be fallout of the land disputes.
In Kanpur, DIG Rajesh Kumar Rai said a fire broke out in Hari Ram Gautam’s house at Sidhhanath Nagar locality early this morning when three of his daughters - Maya (23) Mamta (19) and Sunita (17) - and son Babu (22) were asleep inside. Gautam’s wife Elaichi Devi, who was sleeping outside the house, woke up after hearing screams of her children and raised an alarm.

The locals somehow doused the flames, but the children had suffered extensive burns by then. They were rushed to the Ursala Hospital where the doctors confirmed that Maya had suffered over 70 per cent burns and was critical. Elaichi Devi lodged a complaint with the Chakeri police station alleging that Pappu Jaiswal of the same locality had torched her house following a dispute over land.

Kanpur SP (City) East Kushahar said Gautam and Pappu, both, claimed possession over a small piece of land, but neither had legal document to prove ownership. Gautam lives separately in another house in the same locality while his wife and children were staying at his parental house.

Pappu, who was arrested, denied his involvement in the incident. The police is investigating Elaichi Devi’s claim that she had seen Pappu and his associates running away after torching her house, Kushahar added.

In Kannauj district, 75-year-old Ram Kishun Kori was burnt to death after a fire broke out in his hutment in Thathia area this morning.

Kannauj Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajender Singh said Kori’s nephew Ahibaran has lodged a complaint alleging that his neighbour Shiv Narain and latter’s family members Akhilesh, Awadhesh and Ram Shanker set his uncle’s hutment on fire when he was asleep, causing his death. The SP also said that Kori used to live alone since his wife died about 10 years ago. He had no child and his nephew used to look after him. Kori had two bighas of land and a dispute with Ahibaran over the land was pending in court.
