  • State:: Haryana
  • District:: KARNAL
  • Police station:: Assandh
  • Summary:: Saalwan village is situated on the brink of G.T Road, Karnal and about 45 km away from its District Headquarters, Karnal in Haryana. A high-voltage line of caste virus exists in this village, but it will not be visible to the naked eye. This caste disease came to light through the recent incident, occurred at Salwan village on 1st March’07 On 26 Feb’07 at 6 p.m Pradeep Kumar (16) s/o Ram Kumar and Lilu (18) S.o Nakli Ram who belong to Valmiki community were taking their cattle to graze, which entered the field of Mahipal, the Rajput. Mahipal allegedly used casteist language that angered the Balmiki youth, who beat up Mahipal. Next morning on 27.02.07 at 6 a.m Ram Jauari a Dalit boy while he was roaming around happened to see a dead body of Mahipal lying in the field. He informed to the family members and relatives of Mohipal immediately. The family members of Mohaipal informed to police regarding the incident. Police reached the spot and started investigation about the incident. Police found some footprints and sheet of sheep and goats in the field. Based on that police suspected that the shepherds must have committed the murder of Mohipal, and so the police arrested Pardeep and Lilu in this connection. Police cruelly tortured the victims and forced them to confess that they have committed the crime. Pertaining to the murder of Mohipal, the Rajputs convened a meeting at village’s Badi 7Chaupal on 28.02.07 evening to plot against Dalits. 4Conversely someone from the Dalit Basti heard about the conspiracy made by Rajputs. Therefore 90% Dalits had fled from the village, men, women and children ran for their lives, finding shelter with relatives in other villages. Many grandparents stayed back, because they couldn’t run, and their lives mattered the leastThe Rajputs had planned well in advance. They cut off phone lines and so the police could not be informed. On 01.03.07 at 1.30 p.m, with the leadership of Block Samiti Chairman- Surjit S/o Baru, Ranjor S/o Kesa, Maste Ghanshyam S/o Baru Ram, Dharamveer S/o Suresh, Omveer S/o Udha and Kaptan, approximately 2000 Rajputs being divided into 3 groups attacked on Dalit Basti. The mob was armed with swords, pickaxes, lathis, pharses, barchis and gandesis and, some allege, even revolvers. They broke doors and attacked, in every house selective markers of the relative prosperity of Balmiki homes – homes that had nothing to do with Mahipal’s killings. In house after house, utensils, bicycles and fans are misshaped; the suitcases, trunks and cupboards opened and ransacked jewellery and cash allegedly stolen, sometimes along with stored wheat and grains. And then, the houses were set on fire, though the Balmikis who were following were putting it off. The Rajputs destroyed 190 houses and burnt 10 houses with Kerosene and diesel. Where the arson was successful, police reached to the spot after 3-4 hours of the incident, despite Jasveer’s (one of the victims) contact to police over his Cell phone. The police allegedly cleared all evidence of fire, but burnt clothes along the alley; charred walls and the smell of burnt wood still speak the truth. 25 Dalit youth were injured, one of them critically injured. The injured victims were admitted in the Civil Hospital at Assandh, District Karnal. Doctor referred Jasvinder and other victim’s to Troma Center in Karnal since their condition was so critical. Some of them are in the same condition till date. The next day, 2 March 2007, despite heavy police presence, a Balimiki youth, Sonu, 20, died under suspicious circumstances. The Balmikis claim that this is a murder, because he was a cousin of those who killed the Rajput. The Rajputs say that this suicide. The post-mortem confirms suicide, says Superintendent of Police, Karnal, Sibash Kabiraj. But the Balmikis states that the post-mortem report has been managed to prove it suicidal death. Due to this incident, Dalit who left and those who are still in the Basti are scared for their lives. The relief and rehabilitation for the victims is also not adequate. There have been no arrangements from the Government\'s side to make the Dalits feel safe and secure.

    In the year 2004, one day suddenly Gopi called Bharathi over phone and said that he was forcefully sent to Vijayawada by his parents and asked her to meet him immediately.  Bharathi reached him next day by evening and both of them decided that they should stay in Hyderabad.  She returned to Srikakulam and made necessary arrangements, resigned her job and went to Hyderabad to stay with Gopi.  Bharathi stayed in her friend’s place for two months where Gopi used to visit her regularly.  Gopi asked her to search a job abroad so that she can work there and search a job for him.  She got visa to Kuwait but one week before her departure, he asked her not to leave.  She cancelled her trip though she had to loose Rs.60, 000/- that she spent for the arrangements.

    When Bharathi took this issue to Bharathnagar Mahila Mandali, they talked to both the parties and Gopi said that Bharathi forced him to stay with her and they don’t have any relation.  Bharathi complained in the Sanathnagar PS on 23rd May 2007, but they registered the case u/s 498A of IPC and 4, 5 of DPA.  No action was taken on the accused and he is living with Durga.  Bharathi is left out with her girl child alone.
