A rickshaw puller, a well-known person from Abdullapur, Hussain by name also was there and Baljit had entrusted his daughter to him and instructed him to leave his daughter at home. Rickshaw puller had accepted that assignment and moved from there. Then on coming to the lonely road, and on seeing the girl alone, beastly thoughts had crept in his mind and he had forcibly seduced her, had thrown her in a ditch when she refused. Sauraj Singh was informed of the matter. He rescued the girl from the ditch and called the police and filed a raping complaint against the man. That complaint was taken up and Hussain learned about the report and he ran away to his relative’s house. Sauraj Singh using his political influence and got Hussain arrested the next day. The police forced him into submission and now he is serving his jail term. From this onwards, mistrust began to develop between the two communities, angry exchanges and threats to each other occasionally were common.

And the govt. gave his family Rs. 1.50 lakhs as compensation and the political party gave them Rs. 1.00 lakh. In the village Abdullapur fear developed in the minds of Jatav Community people; four or five families of the same community left the village because of this fear. Six brothers of Sauraj Singh are still alive. And they also are frightened. Sauraj Singh Jatav had six daughters and two sons, and his wife died earlier. His six daughters and two sons are orphaned now and the whole family lives in fear. There haven’t been any families in Jatav Community to give them economic support and so they require police protection. The charge sheet has been submitted in the court.
