UP: Man gets lifer for kidnapping, rape of Dalit girl in Barabanki

Barabanki, May 29 (UNI) A man was sentenced to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 80,000 by a court in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday on charges of allegedly kidnapping and raping a Dalit girl in the state's Barabanki district, the prosecution counsels said here.
Special Public Prosecutors Kripa Shankar Tiwari and Tushar Pratap Singh said that a man lodged a complaint on December 15, 2023 in Kotwali Dewa area alleging that his 19-year-old sister eloped with accused.
"The complainant alleged that Salman, a resident of Narosa village in Itaunja area of Lucknow, who worked as a DJ sound service in weddings, lured his sister on the evening of December 13, 2023, and eloped with her," they said.
The prosecution officers said that the report was registered after which the investigating officer filed a charge sheet in the court against the accused under sections of kidnapping, rape, threat to kill and Dalit harassment.
"During the hearing, the victim told the court that the accused had told her his Hindu name and lured her away by promising marriage," they said.
The prosecution officer said that the victim later came to know that he was a Muslim.
"The accused forcibly had physical relations with her and pressured her to change her religion. When the victim refused to change her religion, Salman refused to marry her, threatened to kill her and abandoned her," they said.
They stated that after hearing the arguments of both the sides and relying on other evidence, the judge found accused Salman guilty in the case of kidnapping, rape, threat to kill and Dalit harassment and sentenced him to life imprisonment with a fine of Rs 80,000.
