The police have arrested four men, including a priest at the Delhi Cantt crematorium.

“Your daughter will be cremated. What had to happen has happened. No need to scream now. We’ll settle this here,” Tara’s mother recalled Radhey Shyam telling her.

Tara, a nine-year-old Dalit girl, was allegedly gangraped, murdered and forcibly cremated at the Delhi Cantt crematorium on August 1. The police have arrested four men – Radhey Shyam, 55, Lakshmi Narayan, 43, Kuldeep, 63 and Salim, 49 – and booked them for gangrape, murder and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

Radhey Shyam is a priest at the crematorium.

The death

Tara lived with her parents, who work as ragpickers, in the Old Nangli area. And she would often accompany them to a nearby shrine, Peer Baba Dargah, where they often begged for money.

On August 1, Tara’s father said, the family returned home from the dargah at around 5.30 pm. “I had to go buy vegetables, and before leaving I told my child to get some water for her mother,” he recalled, adding that they usually fetched water from a water cooler installed at the crematorium. “She said, ‘Okay papa, I will get it after playing.’”

An hour later, when Tara didn’t return, her mother stepped out to see why the girl was taking unusually long to fill water. After going around the neighbourhood to see if Tara was playing, she went to the crematorium.

“I went in and found my baby lying there, dead,” she recalled. “Her lips were torn, her tongue was blue, her eyes would not close, and she had bruises on left arm. Her shirt and undies were wet. I couldn’t bear to look at her.”

In a moment, Radhey Shyam walked over and told her that Tara had been electrocuted while she was filling water.

“I didn’t believe him,” she said. “Why were there so many bruises on her then?”
