Bhopal: In a bizarre but shocking incident, a boy, born out of gang rape of a woman in a Madhya Pradesh village, has been denied admission in a school on the ground that there was no clarity on his father in his birth certificate.
The “unwed” mother and his son have been knocking the doors of local administration in east Madhya Pradesh district of Dindori for the past two years seeking justice to them, official reports reaching here on Sunday said.
The incident has been reported in a fringe village of district headquarters town of Dindori. Three local youths- Malle Singh, Om Prakash and Basant Das accused of raping the woman in 2003, walked free after spending three years in jail after being acquitted of the charges due to lack of witnesses.
The woman gave birth to her son on March 15, 2004. According to the official reports, local panchayat secretary P.H. Paraste had mentioned names of three rape accused in the column left for providing father’s name, in the boy’s birth certificate, causing problems for him.
