| Indian MP arrested for raping minor girl |
| 2017-01-08 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] The victim has accused the 51-year-old politician of sexually assaulting her twice in December after she was sold to him by traffickers. Indian police have tossed in the slammer Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! a politician from northeastern Meghalaya state on charges of raping a 14-year-old trafficked girl, an officer said on Saturday. Julius Dorphang, a Lion of Islam commander turned politician, was arrested in neighbouring Guwahati city late Friday after evading police for several days. "He was arrested last night and has been charged with raping a minor girl and human trafficking," Vivek Syiem, a police officer in Meghalaya’s capital Shillong, told AFP. The girl told police she was kept at a guesthouse and has accused seven other people, including a guesthouse employee, of trafficking and selling her to the politician. The guesthouse is owned by a state minister’s son, according to Syiem. Dorphang founded a Lion of Islam group in Meghalaya in 2000 seeking greater rights for two tribal groups, before laying down arms in 2007 and entering politics. |

| #2 I googled the gentleman's name for a biography, because Julius Dorphang does not sound Muslim, and got this from Wikipedia: Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council The Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) is a militant organization operating in Meghalaya, India. It claims to be a representative of the Khasi-Jaintia tribal people, and its aim is to free the Meghalaya from the alleged domination of the Garos and the non-tribal outsiders (the "Dkhars"). It was proscribed in India on 16 November 2000, but the ban was later lifted.[1][2] Our man was their chairman. The group had ties to the National Socialist Council of this and the National Democratic Front of that... Some support from Pakistan's ISI does not offset what looks to me to be plain vanilla Communist revolutionary troublemaking. It's ironic, in an ugly way, that the group at one point launched an operation to publicly punish rapists by torturing them. Fred's little translation program automatically turns militants and similar words into Lion of Islam, regardless of the circumstances. |
