- Summary:: On the evening of 23rd October 2006, around 4pm Kallu Ahirbar(38) S/O-Bithaldas Ahirbar , along with his wife Champa Ahirbar (35), son Ramashankar Ahirbar(13), Sanjay(5), Niraj(3) daughter Roshni (11) , all were in the field .While they were standing near the well of the field, four person Ramakrishna Tiwari, Ramasre Tiwari, Asaram Tiwari and Ranu Tiwari, came to them. They were all with dangerous weapon. Ramkrishna said to Kallu in the name of caste we will kill you today and attacked him with the axe, Ramasre and Ranu beat him with rod and asaram put axe on him, when he fell down they all together attacked on him they cut down his left hand and right leg, they injured him everywhere with axe. When his wife and son Ramashankar came to save him they also attacked him they injured Rama Shankar on the neck and he fell down they injure Champa on the head and Roshni on the face and nose and then thrown the five year old sanjay. And while going from there they said we will kill your brother and went away. Kallu and his family were there and nobody comes to help them up. So Kallu shouted and called for help and then from the neighbor field Harischandra Kusbah came there so I tried to pick up Kallu and he was not able to stand up and he slowly took Kallu to a field nearby the road and left him there and flew away because of the fear. They were laying there till 9pm, at 9 pm police came nearby the place and then they were shouting and calling for help, so police came there. Manoj Tiwari, Sandeep Patriya, Pankaj Patriya, RamKishore Patriya and Ashok Misha came there with the police. Police brought them in the Vehicle to Chhatrapur Hospital and admitted. Whereas on the same day around 4.30pm Jayabai wife of Ramdas Ahirbar.was in field and in her house her husband Ramdas, her son Rabidas ans Mother in law Chaturiaya were there. One boy of the village informed her that they are killing her husband Ramdas. When she ran home and saw that his both eye and intestine was out he said that Ramkrishna Tiwari, Ramasre Tiwari, Ranu Tiwari and Asaram Tiwari had done this to him they shot him in the gun and his intestine came out they took out his eyes with axe and chopped his palm and foot. When she saw her husband in the condition she had her head reeling and fell down oh Ramdas and cried for help but nobody came to her after a while the village sarpanch came there called police and after 2 hour police came and they came to know that the accused also injured Kallu and his family. Police took Ramdas in the vehicle to hospital and he died on the way to hospital. The next day because of not getting timely and proper treatment Kallu Ahirbar‘s son Ramshankar died in the hospital. Kallu and his family are suffering in the hospital and they have not received any compensation. The reason of the conflict is 30years ago Kallu’s father Bithaldas Tiwari had bought 5 acres of land from Nadan Tiwari father of Ramkrishna Tiwari. Bithaldas has died since last 10 years. Accused Ramkrishna and Ramasre had killed their uncle in 86-87 because of land issue and were in jail for last 17 years and had come out before three years. Once the accused came to Kallu’s house and asked to return back their land then Kallu said my father had bought the land from your father and have registered in our name we are cultivating in the land since years so we will not give back. Then the accused abused then in the name of the caste and said you give back the land otherwise we will kill you whole family. They wanted to report the incident to police but people in the village suggested not to report so they did not report. But since then the accused keep on threatening Kallu and his father. With the fear once they tried to negotiate with the accused and offered them another land but the accused did not agree. Again this year before Dusserah the accused had come to the victim’s house and threatened them to give the land back otherwise they will kill them and burn their house. But the victim’s family did not complain about it thinking that they won’t do such thing.

- Summary::
Nalanda District in the state of Bihar is a hub of rapes and murders of Dalit men and women. The land of Buddha turns out to be the curse to Dalits in Rajgir where Lord Buddha got enlightenment. A newly married couple Harikumar Das (21) and his wife Rimi Devi (18) were happily living there at Rajgir. They had just married on 2.10.2006 in a temple. The new family did not any kind of enmity with others.
However, 17th Oct, 2006 brought a terrible event at their fate. Rajesh Singh s/o Suresh Singh, the perpetrator came with 5 of his friends in their house at 10.30pm when Harikumar Das was fanning himself outside the rented house. When he saw them in his house he boldly questioned them of their being there at late night. This angered the perpetrator Rajesh Singh. He abused him and his wife saying, “you bastard how can you enjoy alone having sex with Rimi?” Harikumar Das responded to him saying that Rimi is his wife and so he has the right to have sex with her. Anyhow they have the consent with each other by oath. Rajesh started beating Harikumar Das and his wife, looted jewelries and 15,000 rupees, dragged them out of the house, and took them to a nearby house and put Harikumar Das and Rimi in separate rooms. They stripped Rimi naked and tried to rape her but hearing her shout Harikumar Das came out of the room and ran to save her. He then was kicked out and brutally beaten up.
Thereafter the perpetrators dragged them to the petrol pump cabin owned by Rajesh Singh the main perpetrator. They all raped Rimi one after the other and ran away from the place leaving them outside the cabin. She was unconscious. When she came to the consciousness, her husband covered her body and brought her home. The perpetrators threatened them that if they make complaint to the police they too will rape her because they are giving petrol to the police free of cost and pay 25 thousand rupees to them every month. They are confident that the police is under their grip. Hence the victim Rimi went to Bakhtiyarpur, her mother in law’s place and narrated the whole incident. Her mother in law Sumitra Devi w/o late Bhola Das who works in the Ganesh High School at Bakhtiyarpur took her to Rajgir police station and lodged FIR. The police over there mentally tortured Rimi asking her not to mention the name of the perpetrator Rajesh Singh. With great difficulties the police registered the FIR no. 364/06 registered on 22.10.2006 u/s 342/ 323/ 379/ 376/ 504/ 34 IPC. On the same day they took her to Civil Hospital, Biharsharif for the medical report. The perpetrator Rajesh Singh is so influential that the doctors gave the reports in favour of the perpetrator. From there she was back to her mother in law’s house.
Till now the police have not arrested even a single rapist instead in connivance with the perpetrators the police are torturing the victim and her family. The father of the main accused, Suresh Singh is constantly defending his son. He states that the victim Rimi is a prostitute. No matter some people might have raped her and she wants to trap his son.

Case in Brief:
Pentamma w/o late Balakrishna, aged 50 years belongs to Madiga community. She is a vegetable vender. On 1st October 2006, the village people attacked Pentamma alleging that Pentamma performed black magic on deceased Laxmamma. Few days back Laxmamma committed suicide. Showing this as a reason, more than 15 villagers brutally attacked and tied her to telephone pole. Then they drenched her in kerosene and tried to kill her. Unable to bare the harassment, Pentamma said another name Padmamma. The villagers tied her and brutally beat her. After some time the police knew the information through advocate Balamukundam and one of the Vaartha reporters. They stopped and saved the women.
According to Pentamma’s statement, 7 years back Pentamma purchased house of one of the villagers Chandraiah. After that she spent one lakh rupees and repaired that house. After remodeling the house, Chandraiah took back the house only for 50 thousand rupees. Pentamma refused that proposal but he forced Pentamma. Till the day Chandraiah was waiting for a cause to attack Pentamma. Under these circumstances, Laxmamma committed suicide because of her personal problems. Mr. Chandraiah used this opportunity and alleged allegation on Pentamma and he mobilized village people against Pentamma.
Recommendations:
- Protection should be given to the victims
- Remaining accused should be arrested.
- Government should conduct awareness camps on superstitions.
- Rehabilitation and compensation should be provided.
