Dalit Woman Resists Rape, Set Ablaze in Punjab

[Abu Zolfiqar]

MANSA (Punjab): A dalit woman was set on fire in Punjab's Mansa district after she resisted the attempts of an upper caste farmer to rape her. The woman died on Sunday morning.

The accused, Sandeep Singh, was booked for murder but he is absconding, said police.

Singh and the woman lived in the same village. Her husband is a tailor while she worked as a farm labourer. On Friday evening, when she was alone at home, Singh barged in and attempted to rape her. The woman fought hard to resist him. Singh then poured kerosene on her, set her ablaze and ran away.

On hearing the women's cries, neighbours rushed to her help. Her family members took her to a Bathinda hospital. ''Her condition was grave and she was shifted to Baba Farid Medical College at Faridkot,'' her husband said.

She died of burn injuries on Sunday morning, said Behniwal police post head Rajinder Singh. Police are looking for Singh.

India has to be liberated from the barbaric hindu zealots. Brahmin terrorism is on the peak.

rape is so bad in india that western women are strongly urged to not travel to india.

U.S. citizens, particularly women, are cautioned not to travel alone in India. Known locally as “Eve-teasing,” these incidents can be quite frightening. While India is generally safe for foreign visitors, according to the latest figures by Indian authorities, rape is the fastest growing crime in India. Among large cities, Delhi experienced the highest number of crimes against women. Although most victims have been local residents, recent sexual attacks against female visitors in tourist areas underline the fact that foreign women are also at risk and should exercise vigilance.

Unlike in India, rape cannot be reported in Pakistan. If a woman is raped, she could be charged for adultery and punished unless there are 3 eyewitnesses which is next to impossible.
