Mumbai: Not a single violation committed against individuals from the scheduled caste or the scheduled (ST) receive confidence in the City Court last year.
This situation is almost no better in other parts of the country, according to data with the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB).
Maharashtra has a 11% confidence level for crimes against SCS and 12.5% ​​for those who fight STS.
Dalit rights workers connect low levels of confidence in weak prosecution.
“For Dalit victims, getting FIR registered itself is a climbing task.
The police explicitly prevented the inns on a cruelty case President with Vanchit Bahar Aghadi.
If a victim manages to get complaints, the evidence collected by law enforcement agencies is not enough and this case often ends with liberation or vaginal disagreement, said activists.
During the Lock Year 2020, the suffering of vulnerable groups grew further.
Crime against SCS in Maharashtra grew by 19% from 2,150 cases in 2019 to 2,569 cases last year.
Violations of STS showed a similar trend with a surge in 18% of 559 cases in 2019 to 663 in 2020.
“There reported a massive crime, which means that the actual number will be much higher than the one in the NCRB report,” said Ashok Tengde , an Dalit activist from Beed.
He quotes an example of how locking norms provide perpetrators on the grounds to do cruelty.
“During locking, several city residents, including Dalit families, have moved to their hometown.
There are several examples where the villagers of caste villages will object to the Dalit family engaged outside their homes or urban sports.
In Bed Village, a group of Dalit women Those who have moved from a city ventured to fill water but were immediately beaten.
In Udgir at the end, the entire Dalit family was attacked to venture.
Usually, police officers revealed irritation when cruel complaints emerged; they claimed that they had struggled against a pandemic, “said Tengde .
About 480 rape cases, 633 cases of persecution and 81 murders were registered in the state in 2020 where victims of SCS and STS.
Do they live in urban areas or rural parts, vulnerable groups are not spared.
In December, a boy delivery, Akash Jadhav, was sent near his house in Santacruz (East) by four drunken men who had a fight with him.
He was hospitalized twice and finally died.
His family complained that the police did not apply allegations under the prevention of cruelty.
“The delay in implementing POA seems to be a routine incident,” said the pradnya pawar, a poet and writer Dalit.
In the case of rape and the murder of a woman recently in Sakinaka, the action was applied only after the national commission intervention for the scheduled caste.
