Patna: A Dalit family is still waiting for justice for a teenage girl from the low caste community who was murdered in the Muzaffarpur area of Bihar.

According to Kashmir Media Service, a 14-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and murdered in the Paru area of Muzaffarpur district of Bihar, this August. The victim’s body was later discovered in nearby agricultural fields.

The incident has sparked renewed discussions about the safety of lower-caste communities in India, particularly regarding crimes targeting Dalit women and minors. The victim’s mother reported that despite the passage of significant time since the incident, the family continues to await justice.

Law enforcement officials are investigating the case, which reportedly involves suspects from upper-caste communities. The victim’s family has expressed concerns about the pace of the investigation and the broader implications for community safety.

As per international monitoring reports, incidents of violence against Dalits occur approximately every ten minutes in India. Statistics indicate a persistent pattern of caste-based discrimination, despite constitutional protections and existing legal frameworks.
