BHUBANESWAR: Demanding CBI inquiry into the Pipili gang rape case, the Milita Dalit Mahamanch (MDM) staged a massive rally in front of the State Assembly here on Wednesday. The Mahamanch alleged that the State Government is responsible for the death of victim Babina Behera. Some of the dalit women were arrested by the police from the dharna place.
Thousands of MDM
members came with a procession from Master Canteen to Lower PMG
flaunting placards bearing slogans against the State Government’s inaction to
protect dalits. The members even demanded stringent action against the culprits
in connection with the Kujang dalit woman stripping case. Later, a delegation
of six members handed over a memorandum to the Chief Minister.
The Mahamanch said that when
Schedule Caste Commission chairman held the doctors responsible after meeting
Babina in the SCB Medical
College Hospital,
she did not open her eyes and her condition was gradually worsened and finally
died creating suspicion in everybody’s mind. Why the experienced doctors of the
Capital Hospital
and the SCB Medical
College Hospital
had frequently injected anti-venoms into Babina’s body which closed all the
paths to live, questioned the Dalit body.
The MDM
alleged that when the High Court closed the matter by saying satisfied to free
status report submitted by the hospital on June 19, just after one day when the
people were busy in Ratha Yatra on June 21, she was declared dead. The
Mahamanch apprehended the death of Babina Behera as a ‘Sarakari Murder’. Among
others, Shaikh Abdul Waii, Amiya Pandav, Jayant Bhoi, Pratap Sahu, Mamata
Behera and Manjulata Choudhury of the party took the lead of the rally.
