Describing the recent rape and stabbing of a minor Dalit girl in Bihar as highly condemnable and worrisome, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Tuesday (June 3, 2025) said the incident is proof of the poor law and health system in the State.
“The recent incident of rape and stabbing of a minor Dalit in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar and her subsequent death due to delay/negligence in her treatment in Patna hospital is a living proof of the poor law and health system of the state, which is highly condemnable and worrisome,” she wrote on X asking when will Bihar’s situation change.
The former four-time Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and a leading Dalit face pushed for strict legal action against all culprits and asked the Bihar government to ensure justice to the victim’s family so that such painful incidents can be prevented from recurring in future. “It would be better if the government helps the victim’s family in every possible way and is seen standing with them,” she added.
In the tragic incident, the minor Dalit girl hailing from Muzaffarpur was raped and found with nearly 20 stab wounds died at the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on June 1 during treatment.
