Women 'more than' molested, stripped in Bhatta Parsaul: Govt

New Delhi : Stopping short of alleging rapes in the Bhatta Parsaul
village in Mayawati-ruled Uttar Pradesh in May, the government on
Thursday said an inquiry panel had found that women were not only
molested and stripped but the police personnel did "even more than
that."
Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who had visited the village
during the farmers' agitation had alleged women were raped and a heap
of ash with bones was found at the site.
In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha on August 11, Women and Child
Development Minister Krishna Tirath had said a National Commission for
Women (NCW) team visited the place and "no specific case of rape could
be confirmed by the inquiry committee."
However, correcting the August 11 reply, Tirath said today that the
NCW team that went into the charges of alleged atrocities including
rape, stated in its preliminary report that serious crime was
committed on women.
" ...police personnel broke open houses, looted valuables, money,
ransacked houses, tore women's clothes and put them in a state of
nakedness, badly molested and committed even more than that," she said
quoting the NCW report.
The final report is, however, awaited.
