The police filed a complaint late and the perpetrators pressured them to settle the incident in the village
A woman from Musahar community of Jagatpur Donwari tol located in Navrajpur rural municipality-3 of Siraha was found dead. 24-year-old Anandidevi Saday was found dead hanging in her house at 3 pm on Tuesday.
According to the local police office, Maheshpur Patar, the incident was reported and the body was sent to the provincial hospital in Lahan for post-mortem. According to the police, she was found dead in a trap wrapped in a shawl on the roof when no one was home. District Police Office, Chief Superintendent of Police Anantram Sharma said that the incident is being investigated. "We have confirmed the incident and sent the body for post-mortem," he told Kantipur, "a detailed investigation is being done on this matter."
Anandi was sexually abused by two young men of the village about 4 months ago. She is married . He also has a 2-year-old daughter. Husband is in foreign employment . Recently, she was living in Maitama along with her daughter.
Anandi went to meet her elder sister who lives in Nargi located in Bariyarpatti rural municipality-1 at 11 am last December 9. He was surrounded by 22-year-old Sanjeev Kumar Yadav and 32-year-old Shyamsunder Yadav while he was going to his destination through a pond in the village. According to the family of the
victim, they offered Anandi to have physical contact. But, when they did not agree, they dragged Anandi to the nearby mango orchard by pulling both hands. After that, they tried to force him by tearing the clothes by fighting on the straw in the garden.
But, Anandi ran away and came home crying, mother Biltaun Devi Saday said. After the incident, on the same day in the afternoon, Biltoun accompanied her daughter and lodged a complaint at the local police office, Maheshpur Patar. However, two and a half months after the incident, it has been found that the police filed a complaint against them in the forced labor industry only on February 25. Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that some locals tried to settle the incident in the village from the side of the perpetrator.
According to mother Biltoun, some people including Narendra Yadav of the village had taken the money and threatened to join the village and Nami would file a case on the contrary. "They used to threaten us that they would get some money," she said, "but if we didn't agree, they said they would file a case". "Even when we asked the police to register the complaint, it was not registered, once the police tore up the complaint," she told Kantipur, "but we registered the complaint only after we prepared to go to the media." However, they have not been arrested. Chief Inspector Ravinraj Mainali of Maheshpur Patar Police claimed that although the police reached the house of the accused, they were not found.
Similarly, Mainali claimed that it took time to file a complaint after hearing that they were framed by the accused party. "After the complaint came to us, the accused said that he had been framed," says Mainali, "Then it took time to register the case during the investigation."
According to Biltoun, the mother of the deceased, even though the perpetrators lived in the village, the police were reluctant to arrest them. "We went to the police to ask for justice, but the police used to treat us as if they didn't count," she says, "rather than arresting the guilty, they called us the opposite." "After the incident, we went to the police, but we couldn't realize that the police is for us," said Biltoun. He said that the role of the police in this is very suspicious and he has also demanded an investigation.
