Her husband works as a daily wage laborer.  At the day of incident, on November 29, 2002 around 11 am her husband was out for work and Chauthi Devi was feeding her child at her house. Suddenly Gulya Mali entered her room and closed the door. Gulya Mali grasped her both hands and flung her over the bed. Chauthi Devi shouted but Gulya shut her mouth by a handkerchief. Then he removed Chauthi’s lower wear and forcedly raped her. Chauthi Devi tried her best to rescue herself; she kicked him but Gulya did not give up and abused her in the name of caste and threatened her. Listening clamor, nearby people came to see what has happened. On seeing others coming, Gulya ran away from there. Because of the struggle to rescue, Chauthi Devi got injured very badly. She got so many injuries at various parts of her body. Somehow Chauthi Devi came out of her room and told her Uncle & Doctor Sunil about the whole incident. They then told her husband when he came back in evening. Next day Chauthi Devi & her husband went to the Police Station to lodge an FIR. The Local police registered Chauthi Devi’s FIR in appropriate sections and started investigation. Same day of registering FIR, Chauthi Devi was sent for medical examination to the Government hospital. Chauthi Devi and her family were threatened by the accused to withdraw the case otherwise they will have to leave the village. She reported this in Police but Police did nothing in this regard. Even in all these circumstances Chauthi Devi didn’t give up and didn’t compromise with the accused. She left the village due to accused; her husband was beaten very badly by the accused.

The Local police registered Chauthi Devi’s FIR. Initially local police was not ready to register the case but somehow her husband was successful in lodging FIR. Copy of FIR was not given to him in spite of repetitive requests. Thereafter Chauthi Devi was sent for medical examination to the Government hospital. Chauthi Devi and her family were threatened by the accused to withdraw the case otherwise they will have to leave the village. She reported this in Police but Police did nothing in this regard. Accused was not arrested by the Police even after very long time. Once Chauthi Devi’s husband informed Police about the place where accused was; Police with Chauthi’s husband went to that place to arrest him but even in the presence of Police, accused brutally beaten up her husband. The police stood aside and watched the ‘game’ but did not come forward to rescue the poor man. Because of the threats and terror, Chauthi Devi and her family left the village and migrated to another place but the accused found them out in 15 days and threatened them to compromise.

On 21 April 2003, Chauthi Devi’s statement was recorded under section 164 of Cr.P.C after 5 months from the date of incident. Chauthi Devi clearly stated about the forced intercourse with her by the accused even then on 6th June 2003, the sitting Judge Chandra Kala Gupta released the accused on bail.

During trial Chauthi Devi presented an application alleging that she has been continuously threatened by the accused to leave the villag. Later on the case was decided on January 8th, 2004 and the accused was punished. 

Sua Devi (30) w/o Poonma Ram is r/of Peeprali village, under Gudamalani police station in Barmer Dist. belongs to Scheduled Caste community.  Sua Devi got married in a very young age and came to her in-laws house at the age of 15 years. Her husband Poonma Ram has been suffering from mental disorder for the last 20 years and thus unable to work and take care of his family. The whole burden of family’s livelihood was on Sua Devi. Sua Devi has four children, one son and three daughters, all minors. She earned her livelihood by working as a daily wages laborer.

On June 30, 2002, the day of incident, as usual Sua with her son Rau went for in a famine relief muster roll construction work. At 1 O’ clock in the afternoon, her daughter Reshmi came and told Sua that supply of IRD wheat grains has started. Sua with her kids went to an under construction hospital to get an empty sack to store wheat grains. The supervisor Mishra Ram was there who told her that Sarpanch Khuma Ram is calling her inside the room (in that hospital). Sua entered the room with her son and as her daughter was also entering, Mishra Ram stopped her outside and suddenly closed the door. She saw Khuma Ram, Sarpanch of the village, Giridharpuri, the contractor, and Mool Singh, the mason, were sitting on a bed lying inside. They made Sua’s son Rau to sit in the corner. As she tried to escape, Sarpanch ordered others to take hold of her. They caught Sua and clutched her mouth. They then forcefully flanged her on the bed and threatened her to kill her son and dishonor her daughter if she will speak out. Sua screamed out for help but the Sarpanch closed her mouth with his hand and stripped off her clothes and brutally raped her.

Subsequently Mool Singh & Girdhar Puri raped and bite her at various parts of her body. After that the mason went out and sent Mishra Ram inside, and then he also raped her. Sua Devi got injuries at various parts of her body and blood started bleeding out of her genital parts. After that the accused let her go home and threatened her not to tell anyone in the village otherwise she will lose her and her children’s life. Sua’s younger daughter Reshmi who was standing outside saw the whole incident. When she tried to shout, Mishra Ram threatened her that if she will shout, he will throw her into the water tank nearby.

After 2 days Sua decided to tell everyone about the incident and went to the village. Mishra Ram saw her and started abusing her and beaten her up with bamboo stick. Sua’s left leg got injured by these beatings. He did not allow her to go to the police station. She went back home but did not give up and somehow managed to go to Barmer. On the way she met Sanwala Ram and Bhagwan Ram of her village and narrated them what has befallen on her; they suggested her to meet Superintendent of Police. So she went to S.P. office and told him about the whole incident. Thereafter her FIR was registered on 9 July, 02, No. 57/02, u/s 376, 342 IPC & 3(1)(xii), 3(2)(v) of SC/ST (PoA) Act. and medical examination was done.

Sarpanch ordered Patwari (Revenue officer of the village) not to give any work to Sua devi and asked the school children to throw stones on her. Sarpanch issued a circular in the village that if anyone gives work to Sua, he would be punished. Thus she was denied to any work of employment by the individuals, Panchayat and other government agencies at behest of perpetrators. The villagers imposed social boycott on Sua Devi and even she was not permitted to enter the village. Community as a whole and dominant caste of the village denied the occurrence of incident on the ground that she is a characterless lady and tried to implicate the perpetrators in a false case. Sua and her children were beaten up and humiliated by the villagers.
