Dumka tribal girl rape-murder: Parents whisked away before NCPCR team arrived, says Priyank Kanoongo

New Delhi: National Commission for Protection Of Child Rights (NCPCR) Chairperson Priyank Kanoongo, who is in Jharkhand’s Dumka to meet the family of the 14-year-old tribal raped and hanged from a tree, on Monday said the parents of the minor victim were taken away by local police before his team arrived to their house. The NCPCR team were unable to meet the parents of the minor tribal girl and now they will be meeting her sister who stays in a different location. “Jharkhand government has been non-cooperative and is obstructing investigation,” the NCPCR chief said in Dumka. In a tweet in Hindi, Kanoongo said: “I have come to Dumka to investigate two cases of crimes against minors. I had earlier informed the Jharkhand government the NCPCR team will be meeting the family of the tribal girl, who was raped, murdered and hanged from a tree. The district collector had also given consent to the team for the meeting.”

एवं उनके घर जाने का कार्यक्रम तय कर प्रशासन ने सूचना दी थी।
परंतु यहाँ उनके गांव आने पर घर पर माता पिता नहीं मिले पड़ोसियों ने बताया कि हमारे आने के पहले माता पिता को एक जीप में बैठाकर कोई ले गया है।
सरकार का ये रवैया बेहद असहयोगात्मक व जाँच में रुकावट डालने वाला है।
