Sagar incident fallout of enmity: MP CM on Dalit woman's death
Bhopal, May 28: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday said the Sagar incident was the fallout of enmity, a remark coming against the backdrop of the death of a Dalit woman after she purportedly fell from an ambulance carrying her uncle’s body two days back.
Yadav said he would visit Barodia Nonagir village to meet the family of victims but downplayed the Congress' demand for a CBI probe as a "job of the opposition."
"I am going to Sagar-Khurai and I hope, God willing, everything will be alright in that village. It was the result of an enmity. I sympathise with them. We have directed the administration to ensure that such things won't recur and people live harmoniously," Yadav told PTI when asked about the Sagar incident.
Anjana Ahirwar, whose brother Nitin Ahirwar alias Lalu was allegedly beaten to death by some persons pressuring her for a compromise in a harassment case last August, died on Sunday after "falling off" from an ambulance which was carrying the body of her uncle, who was allegedly beaten to death by some persons on Saturday, police had said.
"It is the job of the opposition Congress to demand a CBI probe. They will have to speak like this. They were aware of it. Former chief minister Digvijaya Singh also went there and visited both the places where the dispute took place and also the home where the incident (killing) took place," Yadav said.
"What else can one do while coming from outside? It was a dispute and in such a situation what one can do? We can't deny that the incident didn't take place. We have realised the gravity of the incident," he added.
Earlier in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi assured to support family members of Anjana Ahirwar.

Karnataka: Woman delivers baby on train after emergency halt in Dakshina Kannada
Mangaluru (Karnataka) (PTI): A woman travelling from Mangaluru to Mysuru delivered a baby on board a train after it was halted at a station in Dakshina Kannada district, officials said on Monday.
According to railway sources, the passenger began experiencing labour pain during the journey on Sunday. The train was stopped at B C Road station in Bantwal taluk of this district to facilitate medical assistance. However, no doctor reached the spot for over 30 minutes after the halt.
In the absence of immediate medical support, two co-passengers stepped in to assist the woman. The delivery was conducted in the train's toilet compartment. Both the mother and the newborn were reported to be safe following the delivery, they said.
Railway police officials had arranged for the woman to be shifted to a medical facility. She was admitted to the Government Lady Goschen Hospital in Mangaluru for postnatal care.
According to the OBG (Obstetrics and Gynecology) department officials at the hospital, the child and mother will be discharged after the initial observation period is over.
They told PTI that the delivery was done in trying conditions. The two ladies who carried out the operation had done a good job. The child and mother arrived at the facility 22 kilometers from the spot. Also, the mother experienced no blood loss or any other complications.
The neonate has been incubated and the mother is undergoing normal observational procedure at the hospital, the hospital officials said.
Officials said the woman is a resident of Mysuru and had been travelling home at the time of the incident.
