Will Messrs Nitish Kumar; Laloo Prasad Yadav and his marauding sons stop attributing the rapidly deteriorating law and order situation to perceived and imagined political rivals and crack the whip on these extra constitutional authorities who are making a mockery of the existing laws of the land.....
Getting away after having committed the heinous and grave crime of rape and prolonged sexual assault is as easy as child's play especially if you happen to belong to or then reside in Bihar's Imamganj District or more precisely the district's Sidhpur Village.....
Believe it or not; the Sidhpur Village Panchayat or then council of five supposedly wise and informed men on Sunday evening (August 7; 2016) sentenced or rather condoned the grotesque crimes committed by a 21 year old serial rapist who had been continually blackmailing as well as sexually exploiting his hapless 15 year old minor victim for the last seven months or so.......
Setting aside the now pregnant rape survivor's family's plaintive cries for justice the council of village elders instead chose to blame the 15 year old victim for having brought this sorry and heart rending plight unto herself by luring and enticing the 21 year old accused with her feminine charms and proceeded to condone or rather accord their official sanction to the crimes committed by this devil in human form by asking him to perform 51 squats and pay a laughable 1,000 rupees fine..........
According to the minor's besieged and harangued father; the accused began his saga of untold atrocities by forcing himself on his unsuspecting and gullible daughter when she was 14 years old and a class VII student of the government run school in the village's precincts........
He continued to sexually ravage and violate her for the next seven months or so by holding out the implied threat about maligning and tarnishing her character and reputation before the rest of the village and this sordid episode or then should I say continual saga of blackmail and exploitation only came to light when the now 15 year old became pregnant and spilled the beans to her distraught and disbelieving mother.........
The victim's family initially approached the local police thana and narrated this heart rending tale of extortion; blackmail and sexual exploitation to the senior inspector who disdainfully and callously dismissed their pleas as an informed and devious attempt to falsely implicate the 21 year old accused in an alleged crime that was not committed by him.........
Left with little choice in the matter; they then knocked on the doors of the village panchayat and even alluded to the fact that the 21 year old accused's father had held out the fig leaf of his offending son marrying the minor on whom he had wreaked untold atrocities but the 15 year old rape survivor's father refused the proposal as he feared the wrath of the law coming down upon him if he married off his minor daughter in contravention of the laid down law in this regard........
Badly let down by both the Bihar police force and the village panchayat; the victim's family is now all set to approach the State Women's Commission as well as the State Human Rights Commission in their ceaseless and untiring quest for the much sought after but increasingly elusive justice for their long suffering minor daughter.........
One only hopes and prays that the Bihar government and it's official machinery will at long last wake up from it's self imposed slumber after reading this and swing into action by duly apprehending the 21 year old justice and bringing the full force of the law down upon him without any further delay........
