The mainstream media, both print and TV/internet, is silent on this atrocious rape and murder incident.
It’s quite easy why the mainstream media is not interested. This heinous crime just does not fit into the mould they love. The victim is a Dalit Hindu woman while the perpetrator is a Muslim man. No wonder the media has chosen to brush under the carpet this horrendous crime.
Though one can clearly imagine the outrage on mainstream media if the victim had been a Muslim and the perpetrator a Hindu.
The less said about our political parties, the better.
Kudos to The Print for covering this incident.
The victim lady must be a Hindu – probably a poor Dalit. While the primary culprit – the man who initiated the rape and the assault – is a Muslim.
The secular liberal media cabal won’t report on this story as it does not suit their agenda and ideology. Neither would political parties such as Congress, SP, BSP, etc. speak a word as it does not suit their politics.
Honestly, am quite surprised that The Print published a detailed report of this incident.
This is a symptom of a the disease called “communal hatred” perpetrated by the largest party in India. Bad people used hatred earlier too, but was never used openly and publicly as it was used since 2014. I hope the people with a heart would realize the devastation caused by this disease as it results in unimaginable horror and grievous injury to society.
