Muslims flee as communal violence scorches UP village
A large number of members of the
minority community are uneasy about returning to their homes
in Asthan village in Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh, from where
they had to flee 10 days ago following violent communal clashes over the rape
of a Dalit girl.
Violence
had rocked the village, located nearly 150 km from Lucknow, after the
13-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly gangraped and murdered by four Muslim boys
from the same village.
In the
communal flare-up following the incident, houses and shops belonging to the
Muslim community were burnt down by an angry mob after local authorities failed
to initiate any action against the accused.
