Another Hindu has been murdered for resisting the sexual harassment of a woman family member. Deepu Jadam (22) was murdered by a suspected Islamist gang consisting of Sohail and others when he stopped them from sexually harassing his cousin sister during the ongoing Kartik fair in the temple town of Ujjain, MP
As per Dainik Bhaskar, Deepu’s sister was sitting on a ride on Tuesday night during the famous annual month-long fair held at Ujjain, when some youth passed some vulgar comments on her. When Deepu stopped them, they picked up a fight and stabbed him in the chest causing his death. He was the sole breadwinner of his family.
On Wednesday, angry locals and Hindu organizations jammed a road and vandalized some rides at the fair. Deepu, son of deceased Lakhan Jadam and resident of Agar town, had come to meet his maternal aunt Kantabai. Other relatives too had arrived to celebrate the birthday of a child. The entire family had gone to visit the Kartik fair.
Shockingly, it is being said that after the initial dispute over the vulgar comments, the police officials deputed at the fair took the family away to lodge a complaint. Deepu was left behind. The accused then surrounded him, and stabbed him to death.
An eyewitness Sanjay Mali said that 4 people from Deepu’s family sat on the ride, belonging to one Khaliq ‘bhai’, while 3 were standing by. Two of the accused, also sitting on the ride, began harassing the girl and passing vulgar comments. When Deepu opposed, they assaulted him. Soon, they called more accomplices and 20-25 of them gathered and stabbed Deepu to death.
Deepu’s father had already expired, and he was looking after his family farm while taking care of his mother, grandmother and two younger brothers, besides also pursuing his education.
Suresh Sonagra, a relative of Deepu’s, said that the men who harassed the girl from their family appeared to be workers of the ride owner, Khaliq. “We complained to the police chowki on the fair premises, and they asked us to come to the police station to lodge the report. As soon as we left, the accused surrounded Deepu and murdered him,” he is quoted as saying by Dainik Bhaskar.
Deepu’s cousin Ashish identified one of the attackers as Sohail, and said that most of them are from Helawadi area of Ujjain.
Mahakal police station head Munendra Gautam said that the police is searching for the accused and they will soon be arrested. “It’s possible that the youth was stabbed during the initial scuffle itself and fell in a corner. When the other family members came to the police station to lodge the complaint, our ASI found him lying on the ground and rushed him to the hospital. We are questioning the ride operators and checking CCTV footage,” the police officer said.
The Kartik fair is held annually on the banks of the sacred Kshipra river, starting from the day of Kartik Purnima and running for around a month. Licenses for setting up shops, eatery stalls and joyrides are awarded by an online process by authorities. This year, the fair ran from November 7 to December 6, but ended in tragedy for a Hindu family.
Deepu Jadam joins a long list of Hindu men who have been murdered in recent years for standing up against the sexual harassment of their sisters/daughters by Islamists – Dharam Sahu, Dhruv Tyagi, Bheru Kolhi, Aditya Tiwari.
The inability of our politically correct ‘secular’ law enforcement machinery to hand down speedy and deterrent punishment to criminals, especially when they are committing gateway crimes incorrectly termed ‘eve teasing’, has emboldened them no end. Even those accused of brutal murders of Hindu girls like Etka Deshwal manage to get bail. Media reports on such crimes commonly castigate bystanders for not intervening to save the victim, but don’t utter a word against the judiciary and liberal elites who have normalized the soft treatment of criminals.
