Members of social organisations took to the streets in Chhattisgarh’s Durg city on Tuesday to condemn the rape and murder of a six-year-old girl by her uncle and the opposition Congress burnt effigies of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai in several districts.<\/p>\n
The Durg district bar council announced it would not represent the accused in court.<\/p>\n
A six-year-old girl was sexually assaulted and murdered in the Mohan Nagar police station area on Sunday. The child had gone to her grandmother’s house in the neighbourhood for a function on the ninth day of the ‘Navratri’ festival when her 24-year-old uncle sexually assaulted, killed her and later placed the body in a neighbour’s car.<\/p>\n
Members of social organisations, including an outfit of the Yadav community to which the victim belonged, took out rallies in the city and shouted slogans condemning the heinous crime.<\/p>\n
The Yadav community demanded a CBI probe into the incident and submitted a memorandum to the Durg collector, seeking Rs 50 lakh assistance for the girl’s mother and a government job for her.<\/p>\n
“We have demanded a detailed enquiry into the incident by probe agencies like the CBI. The accused should be sentenced to death. We have also demanded assistance of Rs 50 lakh and a government job for the victim’s mother,” said Pritam Yadav, general secretary of the Chhattisgarh unit of Akhil Bharatvarshiya Yadav Mahasabha.<\/p>\n
The Chhattisgarhi Mahila Samaj strongly condemned the incident and demanded a ban on porn sites.<\/p>\n
Durg Bar Council president Neeta Jain termed the act heinous and inhuman and said it has decided not to represent the accused.<\/p>\n
Amid reports that the child was tortured with a cigarette and her body had burn marks, Durg Additional Superintendent of Police Sukhnandan Rathore said the complete post-mortem report is awaited, and further investigation is underway.<\/p>\n
He, however, said that the body was kept in a parked car, and blisters may have appeared on it due to heat.<\/p>\n
The opposition Congress burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai in several districts, including Raipur, Durg and Rajnandgaon, protesting against the incident.<\/p>\n
The party demanded the resignation of Deputy Chief Minster Vijay Sharma, who also holds the Home portfolio, alleging that the law and order situation has deteriorated.<\/p>\n
