7 Named Accused Still Not Arrested A Week After Shravasti Dalit Man’s Death

Questions are being raised over police action in the Kamlesh death case in Shravasti’s Gilaula area. The case relates to Siswara Madarpurwa, where a 50-year-old Dalit man, Kamlesh, died around one week ago.

A case has been registered against 7 named accused under charges including murder and other serious sections. However, even around one week after the incident, all the accused are still out of the police’s reach. Their arrest has not taken place so far, raising questions over the progress of the investigation.

The case had intensified after Kamlesh’s death in Siswara Madarpurwa. The visuals are from the Siswara Madarpurwa area under Gilaula police station in Shravasti.

The victim’s family got a case registered against 7 people, naming them as accused under charges including murder and other serious sections. But with time passing and the accused still not being arrested, questions are now being asked about the police action in the matter.

The family has alleged that the delay in action has allowed the named accused to move around openly. The family has demanded the immediate arrest of the accused. It has also sought an impartial investigation into the role of the police.

Meanwhile, action has been taken within the police department. The station house officer, along with 3 police personnel, has been sent to the police lines. In the revenue department, the lekhpal and the revenue inspector have been suspended.

The central question now is why the 7 named accused are still outside the police’s reach. It also remains to be seen whether the accused will be arrested soon and whether the alleged negligence in the case will be investigated impartially.
