Dalit woman seeking justice for minor daughters to contest against Kerala CM

Hindustan Times  

The mother of two minor girl who were found dead under mysterious circumstances in Walayar in 2017, said Tuesday she would contest against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Dharmadom assembly constituency in the April 6 election. Last month, the Dalit woman had tonsured her head to protest the “failure of the government” to take action against police officials who allegedly scuttled the investigation into the death of her two daughters. In 2019 a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act court had set free four accused and passed serious strictures against the investigating team which triggered state-wide outrage. The Kerala High Court later took up the case suo motu but proceedings were stalled again after the government announced a judicial commission.
