A Class 12 girl in Uttar Pradesh has died by suicide after the local police allegedly failed to take action against a few stalkers who had molested her on multiple occasions, officials said. The 17-year-old breathed her last on Monday morning, the police said. In her two-page suicide note, she said that she was taking the extreme step so that the molesters who lived near her house would be duly punished and blamed the local police in Moradabad for not taking action against them on previous occasions.

Despite her family lodging complaints, the police took “no action” because the accused are “rich people”, alleged the girl in the note that also had the names of the four men. She alleged that the men tried to kill her and hence she had to leave her school fearing their harassment.

The Moradabad police have arrested two of the accused Vikesh and Amrut, while the search is on for the two more people who are absconding, said an officer.

In the latest incident, it is learnt that the miscreants had tried to molest her by sneaking into the house and recording videos of the girl who was taking a shower inside a roofless bathroom in a Moradabad village.

The girl, in her suicide note, appealed to the police to take action against the stalkers who used to humiliate her almost every day.

Festive offer

“I belong to a poor family and hence none paid heed to our complaints. The stalkers have managed to get out of the issue by bribing the local police. I am sure I won’t be able to get them punished while I am alive but I do hope that after my death they will be arrested. These people didn’t even let my dream come true. I no longer have the courage to face them. However, my family should not suffer. Sir (authorities), will you please listen now? Punish the men after my death…so that poor girls can live and try to fulfil their dreams” reads the suicide note.

The girl goes on to explain the ordeal and the stressful moments she had to endure. “They used to threaten me and say that they would kill my parents. They would climb up the terrace and scare me with knives. When my parents found out, they filed a police complaint but nobody did anything” reads the letter.

The girl consumed poison Sunday afternoon when she was alone at home and died the next day at a hospital, said the police.

Moradabad SSP Hemraj Meena has suspended the in-charge of the area police station (Sachin Malik) and assigned SP(Rural) Sandeep Kumar to conduct a time-bound probe. “One of the accused lives next to the girl’s house. Her family lodged a complaint of molestation on March 8 and the accused was detained. He was later released on bail. We have suspended SI Sachin Malik for not following up on the case and taking appropriate legal action. Now, we have arrested two of the accused named in the note,” the officer told reporters.

The accused have been booked under sections 306(abetment to suicide); 354 (assault or criminal force to any woman, intending to outrage or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby outrage her modesty) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the IT Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, said Sandeep Kumar.

Jim Jordan is looking to follow in the footsteps of House Speaker Denny Hastert, as a fellow former high school wrestling coach from Ohio with a sordid past involving sexual abuse of children.

seems like a lot of words to say you support violence

jail is not for torture and we got a lot of problems that won't be fixed with a shitty attitude. fix your perspective and don't forget, the cops must be brought to bear

i'm not here to defend libertarians, but what you say is incorrect. libertarians would happily dispense with all the religion, and let in the corporate overlords.

you don't have to get weird with it. fake headlines are definitely not cool. also the real headlines, definitely not cool.

nobody in particular is getting a billion dollars from lawsuits against jones, because there are so many people suing him. hopefully his operation is just eroded into obscurity and then we have to hear from the next ten dozen idiots who will take his place. it's the knowledge fight, baby.

agreed, but the lower-case L libertarian stance is just Ayn Rand type shit. i had a buddy who went to objectivism conferences and that sort of thing, then he had kids and joined a union.

there was a point in time, between the mid 90s to the mid-00s, in the U.S., where you could be a very manipulative piece of shit, wthout knowing anything, except how to get these crap computers running again.

actually they probably run some old ass linux fine even now. i hate to see the internals trashed for a junkyard - that trashed computer could be running the junkyard.

that said, i went looking for parts for my car on the internet, at local junkyards. i think they are running the old-ass computers.

does anybody bother with blocking javascript anymore, like with noscript.net on firefox?
