Dalit girl's ragging: Karnataka Police arrest three

Kozhikode/Bengaluru: The Karnataka Police has arrested three female nursing students for allegedly ragging and forcing their junior, Aswathi K.P., to drink a disinfectant, reducing her to a critical condition.

Lakshmi, Athira and Krishnapriya were arrested late Friday evening and remanded to 14-day judicial custody by a magistrate in Gulbarga district in Karnataka.

They, as also the victim, are all Keralite girls who were studying in Al Qamar College of Nursing at Gulbarga.

The Karnataka Police is also looking for another accused Shilpa Jose who is absconding.

Aswathi, a 19-year-old Dalit girl, was allegedly force-fed a disinfectant by her seniors at the hostel of their college on May 9. That resulted in serious damage to the victim’s internal organs.

She is reportedly in a critical condition and undergoing treatment in a hospital in Kozhikode district in Kerala where she was admitted on June 2.

The FIR in the case was filed in Kozhicode on June 22. The police in Kozhikode then sought Karnataka Police’s help in acting on the FIR.

A nine-member team of Karnataka Police officials are now in Kozhikode to take a statement from the victim.

They have also sought the help of the Kerala Police to trace the fourth accused Shilpa Jose who is believed to be in Kerala.

Aswathi’s mother said: “No mother should ever undergo the agony that I am undergoing seeing my daughter suffering.”

Leader of Opposition in Kerala assembly Ramesh Chennithala visited the victim on Saturday and spoke to the doctors treating her.

“I have spoken to the Kerala and Karnataka chief ministers and have asked the latter to speed up the probe and bring the culprits to book,” Chennithala told reporters.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
