In a quiet home in Ghaziabad, a silence has fallen that screams of a nation’s deepest failings.
It is the silence left behind by a 23-year-old Dalit woman, robbed of her voice and hearing in life, and ultimately, of her very right to a life with dignity.
Her tragic death by suicide, just days after being subjected to a brutal gangrape, is not merely a crime statistic
It is a damning indictment of the human beasts that walk among us, a scourge upon our society that must be named and shamed.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), acting on its own accord, has been jolted into action, seeking urgent reports from the Uttar Pradesh police and administration.
But their notices and two-week deadlines are a bureaucratic response to a demonic act. The facts, as they stand, paint a picture of such profound cruelty that it chills the soul.
On August 18th, 2025, this young woman, navigating the world through her sight and touch, was targeted precisely for her vulnerability.
The two accused—Rohit (31) and Vir Singh Bhola (53)—saw her inability to hear their calls or scream for help not as a disability, but as an opportunity.
According to the police, they lured her nearly 250 metres away to a secluded tube well and violated her, their actions shielded by the cover of evening and fueled, as they lamely claimed, by alcohol. But liquor does not manufacture depravity; it merely unleashes the monster that already resides within.
For three days, she endured unimaginable trauma, undergoing treatment in Delhi, before the weight of her violation became too heavy to bear.
She was found dead in her home on August 21st. Her suicide is a direct consequence of the atrocity inflicted upon her—a final, desperate act in a world that offered her no safety, no justice, and no peace.
The subsequent arrest of the perpetrators after a shootout does little to temper the outrage. It is a procedural response, a closing of the stable door after the horse has bolted.
The real question is: what kind of society breeds such men? What twisted sense of entitlement, what deep-seated misogyny and casteist arrogance leads a person to look at a defenseless woman and see an object for their brutal gratification?
These are not men; they are human beasts. They are a cancerous growth on the body of civility, preying on the most vulnerable and leaving a trail of destruction and despair.
Their actions echo a terrifying truth about the pervasive violence that women, particularly those from marginalized communities like Dalits and persons with disabilities, are forced to live under every single day.
The NHRC rightly states that this case, if true, constitutes a grave violation of human rights.
It is that, and so much more. It is a failure of our collective humanity. It is a reminder that for all our claims of progress, the primordial beast still lurks, waiting to pounce on the innocent.
Justice for her must be swift, certain, and severe. It must go beyond judicial custody and become a loud, unignorable message that such barbarism will be met with the full, unforgiving force of the law.
But true justice would have been a world where she felt safe, where her disability was met with empathy, not exploitation, and where she was still alive.
Her silence now thunders, accusing us all. We must not look away.
