When they saw all the people coming towards them, Dinu and Kasim left her there and ran away and threatened Jagriti that she will have to pay for all and abused her in the name of caste.

Again on the same day, around at 10:00 am the perpetrators Dinu and Kasim with three tractors full of other men, all equipped with weapons came to Jagriti’s home. Then Dinu and Kasim let their houses on fire by burning the thatch. When the ladies of the house protested and tried to put off the fire, Kasim, Dinu, Ibrahim, Yusuf and others started beating them with sticks. Dinu held Jagriti’s hands and Kasim, Ibrahim and Yusuf brutally beat Jagriti on her thighs, hips and mouth.

All the clothes, 40-45 maund wheat grains and Rs. 50,000 which were lying at home were also burnt. Jagriti’s family members were injured very badly; her husband lost his hearing capacity.  After ruining everything, the perpetrators warned them not to report the case otherwise they will have to pay more than that and went away.  All the villagers saw the whole incident but not even a single person dared to come forward. All of them kept watching all that happened.

Jagriti and her family didn’t give up and decided to lodge an FIR against the perpetrators and went to the police station. But the SHO of Ramgarh police station denied registering their FIR due to pressure of the perpetrators. Thus they went to the Superintendent of Police, Alwar to register the case. With intervention of SP, the case was registered against the perpetrators and the victims were sent for medical examination.

But then due to the intervention of SP, the FIR was recorded and sent the victims for medical examination. The superintendent of Police ordered to arrest the culprits as soon as possible. If the culprits are not found, then their family members should be arrested.  However, the police was able to arrest only one accused and rest were not caught.

Soon after registering the FIR, it is the duty of District Collector to grant monetary relief to the victim. Administration granted 50,000 rupees to Jagriti as a compensation under the rule 12 (4) of SC/ST Act, 1989 and provided 6,200/- to each of the victim who were injured due to beatings by the accused.

Their financial situation was already pitiable and to add on it, the accused burnt their belongings and everything they had.
