mobanmarketA panchayat in Chhattisgarh’s tribal Jashpur district forced parents of three raped girls – two of whom are minor siblings – into a “compromise” with the accused on July 5, and then feasted with the money the trio coughed up to bury the cases.
The panchayat fined the three accused Rs 10,000 each, invited the entire village to a meat feast and distributed the rest of the money equally among 45 people of the community on Sunday. Justice done, they declared.

The families of the raped girls were far from satisfied. One of them went to the media. Jashpur ASP Uneza Khatoon Ansari said no one had filed a complaint and they came to know of it from journalists. A police team has been sent to the village, which is in a remote part of Jashpur.
