Hindu women gang raped in Pakistan’s Sinjhoro

From kidnappings to rape to forced conversions, atrocities against marginalized groups are on the rise in Pakistan. A Hindu woman named Diya Bheel, belonging to the Bheel community, was gang raped, beheaded and had her breasts cut off by unidentified persons. Before dumping her body in a wheat field, the perpetrators also skinned the deceased victim's head.

The police report stated that before dumping her body in a wheat field, the perpetrators also skinned the deceased victim's head.

The Sindh province of Pakistan's Sanghar district is where the case was first recorded. According to media reports, no case has yet been filed in this situation. Furthermore, no one has been named among the accused.

Police are investigating the matter and sniffer dogs have been deployed to find clues. In addition, the victim's corpse has been sent for autopsy. Police have registered FIR, however, none of the accused has been identified or arrested as of yet.

Pakistan-based journalist Veengas Tweeted, “I am devastated by getting details on the case. Three days ago, in Sanghar Diya, Bheel was decapitated by brutal murder after being raped. The police have not filed FIR, and no person in the Sindh govt or Human Rights orgs bother to speak about it. Hindus never matter to state.”

According to media reports, Sinjhoro locals have organized a protest seeking justice. Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Senator Krishna Kumari visited Diya Bheel village in Sinjhoro.

Reporting the same, he tweeted: “40 year old widow Daya Bhel brutally murdered and her body found in very poor condition. Her head was severed from her body, and the savages had stripped the flesh off her entire head. I visited her village. Police teams from Sinjhoro and Shahpurchakar also arrived."
