Rapist landlord still at large
2002-07-08
The Hyderabad police, during raids at different places, arrested six men suspected to be involved in the gang-rape of a peasant girl in Husri. The girl, belonging to the Kolhi community, was gang-raped by a landlord and his friends, while she was working in a field near the Zeal Pak Cement Factory on Wednesday. The landlord is stated to be a union councillor also. Taking notice of the incident, Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Hyderabad, Abdur Rauf Yousufzai, ordered immediate arrest of the culprits involved in the heinous act. The police, during raids at different places, arrested six people but the main accused, landlord Yamin, is still at large.
The Kolhi community is made up of low-caste Hindus. Since they're not Muslims, they're fair game, natcherly. If they convert, they probably get to be members of a lower-class "tribe," like the girl who was ordered gang raped by her horny village elders. There was a similar story a few days ago — I forget who blogged it — about a Muslim landlord raping a Christian girl, whose family's complaints were ignored.

#3  Ummm... There's also a Hyderabad in Pakistan. That's where they're holding the Omar Sheikh trial in the Pearl killing. Since the article's in Dawn, I'd assume it's the one in Pakland, rather than in Andra Pradesh.

#2  Hyderabad is in India. The chances are very high that the landlord was Hindu. This tragic case proves nothing except that India is very big and the Third World is very corrupt.

#1  Here's the story: Police ignore rape of Christian girl. Another girl in the same area was gang-raped, forced to convert to Islam, and abducted/married despite being 14 and underage by Pakistani law -- all for the crime of talking about her faith at school.

I know it's not representative of all Pakistanis, but this is an all too familiar pattern.
