Mom of Walayar girls to begin indefinite protest

PALAKKAD: The mother of the deceased Dalit

minor girls

from

Walayar

and two other women, kin of victims of alleged

torture

by police officials who investigated the case will begin an

indefinite sathyagraha

at Anchuvilakaku memorial in Fort Maidan here on Tuesday.

Rani Mariya, mother of Praveen, one of the accused in the Walayar case, and who had committed suicide allegedly due to police torture, will be part of the indefinite protest. Valsala, wife of Narayanan Nair of Kunnamkulam, a victim of alleged police torture, too will join the mother of Walayar minor girls. The sathyagraha is to demand a court-monitored probe by CBI into the alleged rape and murder of the two girls from Walayar.

The minor girls were allegedly raped and murdered at their house in Walayar two years ago. Palakkad Posco court had acquitted all four accused for want of evidences and the failure of the prosecution to prove the charges.tnn
