The story of an injustice

Daily Times: Ayesha Asghar.

The survivor is a Bheel, not just Hindu but also a scheduled caste one. The rape of children from scheduled castes is, unfortunately, very common in Sindh

The survivor is a student of Grade I, in the district of Umerkot in Sindh. She is much younger than her reported age of 14 years by a national daily. This is not an uncommon occurrence that children start schooling at a much older age in rural areas. After verifying it from official sources, I was informed that an FIR no 61/12 under Section 354 Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) on the complaint of Bheel against three accused had been filed. The application of innocuous Section 354 of the PPC clearly shows malafide as it is a bailable offence and it would further aggravate things for the victim. The accused are Aziz, Majeed and Maroof.

The case is high profile, as one of the accused is a local representative of the PPP while the other accused belong to the powerful and influential Rind clan in Sindh
