The Uttar Pradesh Police have taken legal action against the district president of the ruling BJP's Minority Morcha in Maharajganj. The leader, Masoom Raza Rahi, has been accused of assaulting a 17-year-old Dalit girl and causing the death of her father.

The Allegations

According to the complaint filed by the minor girl, Rahi assaulted her on August 28. When her father tried to intervene, the BJP leader attacked him, resulting in severe injuries that led to his death.

The Background

The Dalit girl and her family were living as tenants in Rahi's property. Unfortunately, this incident took place within the premises where they resided.

The Charges

Rahi has been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including murder, assault with intent to outrage a woman's modesty, wrongful restraint, voluntarily causing hurt, insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace, and criminal intimidation. Additionally, charges have been invoked under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

It is important to note that these charges are serious and carry severe consequences if proven guilty.

This case highlights the importance of justice and the protection of vulnerable individuals in the Indian society. It is crucial that everyone, regardless of their background, is treated with respect and dignity. The legal system should now investigate the allegations against the BJP leader, and appropriate action will be taken based on the evidence presented.
