When oh when will our women have access to their very own toilets within the confines of home and hearth; thereby being spared the ignominy of having to urinate and defecate in the open under the cover of darkness............
A 30 year old tribal woman who went out into the open fields at around 4:30 am or so in the wee hours of Tuesday morning became the latest statistic on a rather alarmingly growing list of rapes in the state of Chhatisgarh..........
According to police sources; the 30 year old deeply traumatised and distressed tribal woman who was brutally raped by a 48 year old male neighbour while returning after defecating in the open fields grabbed a can filled with kerosene and set herself ablaze as soon as she had reached the precincts of her humble abode...........
Shyamnath; 48, the main accused in the sordid case; took to following the hapless and defenceless tribal woman from the Karabel Block of Surguja division (Raipur district); subdued her; dragged her into an adjoining tract of land and violently forced himself upon her before fleeing from the spot where the dastardly crime was committed........
The dazed; dishevelled; flabbergasted and dismayed woman somehow managed to return to her humble dwelling and set her hands upon a five litre jerry can that was more than half full with kerosene; doused herself with the same and set herself ablaze by lighting a few matchsticks while constantly muttering that a fate worse than hell had befallen her.........
Initially shocked relatives and neighbours somehow managed to douse the flames engulfing the victim and rushed her to the government run district hospital where doctors attending on her rated her chances of survival as "extremely bleak" as the victim had suffered more than 80% burns on the rest of her body barring her face............
She somehow managed to remain coherent and record her "dying(???) declaration" before a judicial magistrate in which she not only conclusively identified her assailant but also held him squarely responsible for the gruesome fate that had befallen her..........
Shyamnath was arrested late on Tuesday afternoon on the basis of the victim's statement and has since been remanded to judicial custody by an appropriate legal authority while his victim continues to wage a valiant battle for her life in the said government hospital.........
And all this while the Raman Singh helmed BJP government keeps reeling or doling out impressive sounding statistics about their rural outreach and unprecedented success of their novel programme to provide every rural household in the state with a toilet of it's very own by March 2015........
