ROHTAK: An elderly Dalit woman, who had gone to meet chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar for redressal of her grievances, was thrown out of his event in Jhajjar on Thursday. According to information available, the woman, accompanied by her grandson, had gone to complain about police inaction in a case.A resident of Sheria village in Jhajjar district , she later told media persons that her grandson, a minor, was sodomised by three schoolboys of a village nearby. She said the family had lodged a complaint at Beri police station and was been trying to get the accused arrested. She accused the police of not taking any action in the case due to pressure from the accused side.A member of her family spoke to TOI on phone, saying police was not arresting the accused even after registration of an FIR under Section 377 (unnatural offence), and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (Pocso) at Beri police station.The family came to meet Khattar on Thursday, with the hope of redressal of their grievance, but male cops deployed in the CM's security pushed the victim's grandmother out. They did this brazenly, with little care that there was not a single female cop among them. A video of the woman being thrown out later went viral on social media, with people questioning the functioning of the police administration, and the government's call for 'Beti Padao-Beti Bachao' campaign.Police sources said they were forced to remove the woman from the venue, as family members intervened during Khattar's speech on stage, and even after requests did not budge and kept pleading with the CM to hear their grievance first.Similarly, in another such incident at the chief minister's event at Jhajjar, a woman complained that six cops had detained her from 6am at her house."First, they enquired whether I wanted to meet the CM on Thursday in Jhajjar, and then took me to different villages in their vehicle, and confined me in a woman's police station," she alleged.She accused police of mistreating her and preventing her from meeting the chief minister who was in Jhajjar on Thursday for the inauguration of a hall at Nehru College.On her grievances, she narrated that a man named Deepak Kumar had married her, but later solemnised marriage again with another woman, leaving her in deep shock. She wanted to meet CM Khattar over action against the accused.Refuting allegations of manhandling by the police, Jhajjar SSP Pankaj Nain said it was the duty of police to maintain law and order situation, and if someone tries to create a ruckus, that needs to be controlled. He said no one was manhandled by the police. He said there was protocol to be followed for meeting the chief minister, and that needs to be honoured.
