Another black chapter was added to the history of Muzaffarnagar district on the night of Thursday, October 9, when a teenaged girl was gang raped in the presence of her parents and other family members by some youths of a particular community. The girl was subjected to this torture as her brother had eloped with the daughter of the landlord and the two had got married.
Communal tension gripped the entire region after the horrific incident. All commercial activities ground to a halt on Friday and Saturday in protest against the incident. Senior police officials are still camping at the spot. Additional police force and PAC have also been deployed there.
According to the villagers, Davendra, alias Sonu, son of Gyan Prakash Dhiman, had been courting Roshan Jahan and two days back both of them eloped. Certain villagers also said that they had married. Roshan Jahan’s parents complained to the police and they were located at Saharanpur. Isreal, father of Roshan Jahan, and Gyan Prakash’s landlord descended on the house of Davendra with several supporters. A teenaged sister of Davendra was brutally raped by the culprits in the presence of her parents and family members.
The Police Department has been unnerved by the incident. Senior police officials have rushed to the spot.
In a telephonic conversation, the SSP, Muzaffarnagar, Mr Navnit Sikaird, told NCR Tribune the wife of Isreal, Ruksana, played a major role in the crime as she was the one who instigated the culprits to rape the girl at least seven times. Senior police officials and the District Magistrate have visited the place.
