Tribal Body Seeks NCST Intervention in J-K Minor's Rape and Abortion Death Case
A 15-year-old Scheduled Tribe girl in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district died following an abortion attempt after months of alleged rape by her teacher, Khalid Ahmed Sheikh, who was arrested along with his brother. The Tribal Gujjar Bakkarwal Welfare Foundation has urged the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes to intervene, seeking invocation of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and investigation into alleged threats, monetary inducements, and community efforts to suppress the case. Authorities have been asked to preserve evidence and monitor progress.
