Mahoba: A newly elected Dalit woman village pradhan was abused in state led by Yogi government. Yes! In Uttar Pradesh a woman pradhan was allegedly evicted from her chair and made to sit on the floor with officials present in meeting.
The shameful act was performed by some local influential persons during her maiden meeting with the officials in Mahoba district. The incident has been reported from Nathupura village under Kotwali police circle. The Dalit woman identified as Savita Devi Ahirwar, 25, was elected as gram pradhan in the recently concluded panchayat polls. Ahirwar was holding a meeting with officials in the Panchayat Bhawan on Wednesday in the presence of assistant development officer Panchayat and block development officer. During the meeting a few influential persons of the village, including one Ramu Rajpoot, reached there and started abusing her. As per the Savita’s statement, "I was having my first meeting with the officials when Ramu, Rupendra, Arjun, Ravindra and six unknown persons entered the room. Ramu soon started bullying me and asked me to follow his instructions instead of raising the problems of the villagers.” Then she refused to oblige and Ramu grabbed her hand and started using a casteist slur against her. She said, ‘He then forced me to leave the chair and sit on the floor.’ However, a FIR has been lodged by pradhan Savita, in which it is only mentioned that she was forced to leave her chair by the accused, who grabbed her by her hand and hurled casteist abuses.
Now, after the case has come to light, Additional SP Mahoba, R.K. Gautam, said, "The accused Ramu Rajpoot and his associates were booked for rioting, assault using criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty and under the SC/ST Act, Ramu has been arrested and further investigations are underway."
