Minor girl raped in Latur, body hung from tree
6 Jan 2008, 0000 hrs IST, S Balakrishnan,TNN
MUMBAI: If two girls were molested in public in Mumbai on New Year eve, in Latur,
a 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped and murdered by four youths.
Latur is the home district of Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and the local MP is Union home minister Shivraj Patil.
One of the accused Vijaykumar Pathale is related to local NCP MLA Chandrashekar Bhosale.
The shocking incident is certain to blow into a major political controversy because of the
political protection given to the accused and the alleged complicity of the local police in hushing it up.
According to a local advocate, Hisamuddin Khatib, the four youths aged between 18 and 20 had asked the girl of Davangaon village in Udgir taluka to join them for the New Year party in the afternoon itself of December 31.
She refused and threatened to inform her parents.
Incensed by her refusal, the youths allegedly raped her and strangulated her to death. They later hung her body from a jamun tree to make it appear as a suicide.
Sayed Moinuddin, a local journalist, said the local police and sarpanch allegedly helped the accused destroy evidence. The parents were told that their daughter had ended her life and asked them to quickly bury the body in the local
kabrastan .
"As per
Muslim custom, the body has to be bathed and new clothes put and prayers are recited before it is buried. None of these rituals were observed.
The family was threatened by the local police and the youths not to lodge a complaint," Moinuddin told
TOI on Saturday.
However, on Friday a youth from the village who had come to the taluka headquarters informed those who had assembled in a mosque for the
jumma prayers of the incident.
An angry mob then indulged in violence protesting against police inaction.
On Saturday, a total Udgir bandh was observed. This forced the police to exhume the body and order a postmortem. There were scratches all over the body indicating that the girl had put up a strong resistance to the rape.
While Moinuddin said the post-mortem confirmed rape and murder, SP Sanjay Latkar said, "Rape was still to be confirmed. Death was due to strangulation. We have to conduct further investigation before confirming if it was a case of rape and murder."
He said the situation in Udgir was under control.
The victim belongs to a poor family. Her father is a vegetable vendor. She has three sisters and two brothers
