A Dalit girl from a village in the taluk has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking justice, after she was raped three months ago by the peon at her school and his three accomplices.
The victim has marked copies of the letter, translated into English with the help of a teacher, to Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi, the state women’s commission, the chief executive officer of the zilla panchayat, the office of the superintendent of police and the Hubballi office
of DH.
The suspect, Vijaykumar Kalavvagol, and the others, whose identities the victim does not know, tricked her into going with them in a car on the pretext of taking her to Bagalkot for availing benefits given to SC/ST students.
On the way, the suspects drugged her by offering her a cool drink and assaulted her sexually. The girl regained consciousness after three hours, returned home and was down with fever at night. After she was taken to the doctor by her mother, he told her that the girl had been raped and asked the mother to approach the police.
The girl’s father was not keen on filing a complaint, fearing consequences, and she was sent to her aunt’s house. The victim then underwent treatment at a hospital.
