Shyamlal, a Scheduled Caste resident of Abdalpur (Pakditar) village in the Soraon police station area, has alleged that his ancestral thatch was demolished, he was assaulted, and threatened with death. He has filed a complaint against the opposing party. The victim alleges that even after a week has passed, no action has been taken in the matter.
According to Shyamlal, a thatched house covered with cement sheets is located on his ancestral plot number 608. He stated that a settlement was not reached during the hearing in the SC/ST court on July 12th. Subsequently, at around 1 a.m. on July 31st, six people from the neighborhood entered his house and began demolishing the thatch and breaking the cement sheets.
When Shyamlal protested, it is alleged that the accused, armed with sticks, abused him and chased him with the intention of killing him. Shyamlal saved his life by running into his house. The victim also alleged that the next morning, when he went to lay bricks with his family, the same men returned and assaulted his daughter-in-law, Bachni Devi, and son, Kamlesh.
The victim immediately called the police on 112. After the police arrived, the family was able to escape safely. The accused fled the scene, threatening life and property.
Shyamlal alleges that after the incident, he filed several complaints with the Soraon police station and the Soraon Circle Officer. However, even after a week, neither the police arrived at the scene nor a case was registered. The victim has demanded immediate action and protection for his family.
In this regard, Inspector-in-Charge Deendayal Singh stated that the matter will be investigated seriously. Whoever is found guilty in the investigation will be prosecuted as per the law.
