BHUBANESWAR:
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Friday demanded Crime Branch inquiry into
the sexual assault and killing of 17-year-old dalit girl of Mathatentulia
village under Gondia police limits in Dhenkanal district on Tuesday night. The
party condemned the horrid act as heartrending and heinous.
A fact finding team, which had
visited the spot, stated that the incident was engineered by a group of people
to take revenge on the victim’s family. The team said the family has lost
everything in the fire on March 12, but they were not provided assistance till
Thursday evening. No Government officials or peoples representatives visited
the family to help them out, they added.
The team members said the family
is living in the Government land as the family along with other dalit and
tribal people are not provided land pattas. The family is very poor, but it doesn’t
have BPL card, ration card or Indira Awas; so the Government should provide
them all the facilities, they demanded.
The CPI
(M) State Secretariat member Santosh Das demanded exemplary punishment to the
accused through trial in a Fast Track court and Rs 10 lakh as compensation to
the family of the deceased.
Among others, State secretariat member
Suresh Panigrahy, State Committee member Pushpa Das, SFI
State secretary Sarat Das, Jitin Mohanty
and Padmabhushan Sahu went with the delegation.
