In yet another case of brutality with children, a 3-year-old girl was raped in Bandipore, Kashmir. But the Lutyens media and liberals, who otherwise remain vocal, have preferred to remain silent because of the obvious fact that both the perpetrator and the victim are Muslims and the brutal raped has happened in the month of Ramadan. Even the Bollywood stars remained silent on the matter of this gruesome rape. The conspicuous points to note here was that

1. The rape of a child happened in Kashmir; a Muslims dominated region of J&K.

2. This incident has happened in the month of Ramadan and the accused is Muslim.

3. The madrasa is actively involved in defending the accused and issued a fake certificate to present the age of the accused as 9 years though he is 20 years old.

Hence, liberals and Lutyens media preferred to remain silent.

 

 

 

 

 

The barbaric rape of a 3-year-old girl in Bandipore, Kashmir has now taken a political and sectarian turn. While the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti has suggested that the rapist shall be punished as per Sharia law i.e. stoned to death, Mutahida Majlis Ulema (MMU), an amalgamation of various religious bodies said such incidents “are taking place because of the fact that many people in Kashmir, have forgotten the path and teachings shown by the great Sufi saints who put their blood and sweat to spread Islam in its true form.” On the other hand, Separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani expressed his grief over the incident and stated, “Bribery and a poor sense of responsibility both in judiciary and police administration has left the galloping crime rate un-tethered, because of the disputed nature of our state.”

 

 

The brutal rape has also risen the tension of sectarianism in the valley after it is being reported that the victim and the perpetrator belonged to two different sects of Islam. As per reports, the three-year-old girl had accompanied her uncle to the mosque for the namaaz marking the start of Iftar in the ongoing Ramzan. After the prayer, the girl left the mosque and when she neared her house, her neighbour, Tahir Ahmad Mir alias Mubba, lured her to a nearby government school. About 15 minutes later when he passed by again, the shopkeeper who had earlier sold the chewing gums the accused had bought to lure the girl, did not see the girl accompany him. The accused was apprehended by the villager of Trigam and handed over to the police.

 

 

 

As per media reports, Tahir may have even abused many other local girls. He is booked under section 363 (kidnapping), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 376 (rape) of the Ranbir Penal Code. A special investigative team has been set up to look into the crime.

 

 

People in Kashmir are in shock and they have been demanding justice for the three-year-old girl. The people across Jammu and Kashmir have been demanding for justice and the strongest punishment for the accused. Many people have been demanding justice for the 3 years old victim over Twitter.
