Minor
Northeast Girl Molested Repeatedly
New Delhi, December 13, 2007, (North East Support Centre
& Helpline)
A minor girl of 17 years old who is doing a designing
course was molested repeatedly by her landlord in
Gurgaon, Haryana. After failing the repeated attempt to rape, the house
owner, in frustration threw out the girl along with her sister and cousin from
the house without any reason at midnight. The North East Support Centre &
Helpline went to lodge an FIR at Gurgoan Police station today, but the police
denied even registering it.
It was on November 11, 2007 that Miss. Shiela (name
changed) with her elder sister and cousin took a rented room in
Gurgaon, Haryana.
On December 2, 2007 at around 9.30 pm , the owner came
and molested her knowing that she was alone. He tried to lure her and forced
to use her. When she denied, he tried to strangulate her. On December 9, she
was again attacked by the lustful owner who is already married and has two
children. He molested her and tried to rape her but the attempt was failed as
the girl raised alarm and brought attention to the outsiders. On December 11,
at around 7.30 pm , house owner went inside Shiela’s room and molested her.
Luckily she was not alone that day; her cousin was inside the bathroom taking
a bath. On hearing the shriek from the girl, the cousin came out and saw their
owner running out of the room.
The next day without any notice or reason they were
thrown out of the house along with their belongings. “Some of our belongings
are still locked away in that room” Shiela’s sister said “The owner even
slapped my cousin and threatened to use violence to my friends who came to
help us in shifting.” On being asked why she did not inform the police when
the owner first tried to rape her, Shiela confessed that she was terribly
afraid, humiliated and ashamed.
Along with the victims, the Fact Finding Team of North
East Support Centre went to the concerned police station but instead of
extending help, they refused to register the case and insisted on identifying
the accused first. They were detained in the police station for a long time by
the SHO Mr. Mohamad Hussain on the pretext of filing an FIR. Without delay the
accused family members and friends were contacted and they came to the station
immediately in three vehicles. Inspite of repeated request, SHO Mr. Hussain was
nowhere to be seen, while the accused member pressed for a situation where
both the parties can come to a compromising term.
The FIR is still not yet filed nor they were given
chance to register the case. There are more then 2000 North East people
staying in
Gurgaon, where more then 68% of the discrimination went unreported and
22% denied even if they seek help from the police. It is up to us to decide
whether we should allow this case to be ignored or give justice by giving our
best involvement. The Fact Finding Team consists
of Madhu Chandra, Ambika Hongsha and Lemyao Shimray.
North East Support Centre & Helpline (www.nehelpline.net) is combined initiative of various human rights activists, social workers, students, journalists and lawyers seeking to prevent harassment and abuses meted out to North East People and tribal communities of other states.
