ये दर्दभरी दास्तां मृतका की उस माँ की है जो महज 28 साल की उम्र में विधवा हो गईं थीं, इनके पास खेती के लिए एक इंच भी जमीन नहीं थी। इनकी चारों बेटियां छोटी-छोटी थीं, दूसरे के खेतों में मेहनत मजदूरी करके, भैंस पालकर अपनी सभी बेटियों को पढ़ाया है। पढ़िए पुलिस ने क्या कहकर इस माँ को थाने से वापस भेज दिया था?

Yesterday, two minor Dalit sisters were raped and killed. Their bodies were found hanging from a khair tree in a sugarcane field in their village in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh. A heinous crime that is distressingly frequent in rural India. Meanwhile, the conviction rate under POSCO Act is only about 40 per cent. And, a significant chunk of the Nirbhaya funds remain unutilised by the state governments.
