Vizhuthugal, an NGO fighting for the rights of dalits, has notified the National Commission of Schedule Castes about two recent incidents where minor dalit girls were raped by caste Hindus. The first incident occured on May 2 in Udumalpet, Tirupur district and the second in Kannivadi, Dindigul district. The NGO asked the commission to ensure the state takes action against the guilty in both cases.
A 17-year-old dalit girl from Kallapalayam village near Sular, who was a second year diploma student in a polytechnic college in the city, was in love with Azhagupadmanaban, 22 from Kannivadi in Dindigul. He worked for a private firm in Sulur. He was a Chettiyar and promised to marry the minor soon. Trusting him, she left home discretely on May 2. Her parents approached the Sulur police to file a 'girl missing' complaint. Sub-inspector Sivakumar refused to receive the complaint.
