| Accused granted pre-arrest bail in rape case |
| 2002-07-12 |
| A district judge in Hyderabad (the one in Pakistan, not the one in India) on Thursday granted interim pre-arrest bail to Yamin Rajput, in the rape case of a Kolhi girl, Meeran, for a sum of Rs100,000. The case against Yamin Rajput and unidentified persons was lodged at the Husri police station after Meeran claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Rajput and four others. This is a different case from the Meerwan incident, apparently just a passing grab at some available low-caste babe. The Kohlis are Hindu nomads... Advocate Abbasi contended before the court that his client had obtained the land of the Zeal Pak Cement Factory on 'Muqatah' basis. He said the land had been encroached upon by nomads, Kolhis, and added that when Rajput, his client, asked them to leave the land, they refused and staged the farce of the rape of Meeran, daughter of Veeho. They made it all up because he demanded they move on... He said the story of the complaintant was mind-boggling and had been falsified by the report of the physical medical examination of the girl, conducted by a woman medico legal officer of the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences. Ooops. Damn that physical evidence. But it was gathered by a woman, and y'know how they stick up for each other, thick as thieves, so obviously that evidence should be thrown out... |
