Devanish Meena and Pratibha Gujar, both hailing from New Delhi, India, shared a remarkable academic journey and a deep, enduring love. Pratibha, who completed her Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) from G.D. College and pursued a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) from Dev International College, was dedicated to her education and future. She was also a teacher and was preparing for government job examinations. Devanish, on the other hand, pursued a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.). Their love story began in the sixth grade at Bal Bharti School, Scheme No. 8, Gandhi Nagar, and developed into a serious relationship by the 11th grade. [1]
Pratibha's tragic story is a stark reminder of the brutal consequences of the caste system and the ongoing prevalence of honor killings in India. Despite Supreme Court guidelines intended to prevent such atrocities, the lack of specific legislation and the frequent non-compliance by police continue to allow these barbaric practices to persist. Activists emphasize that until new laws are enacted and strictly enforced, young women and men will continue to suffer at the hands of their own families. [2]
Five months after their secret wedding, in July 2015, Pratibha Gujar was found dead under highly suspicious circumstances. Devanish Meena alleges that Pratibha was murdered by her own family in an act of honor killing, a horrific practice where families kill their own members to uphold perceived social and familial honor. According to Devanish and some of Pratibha's cousins, she was electrocuted in a water tank by her father, Vishan Singh Gurjar, and other family members. They did not take her to a hospital, and no post-mortem examination was conducted, further raising suspicions about the true cause of her death.
Additional superintendent Laxman Das, the investigating officer, said: "The girl's father has been questioned but they say she got electrocuted by an air cooler. It could be murder too. No arrests have been made yet."
The inspector-general of Bharatpur, Biju G. Joseph, told The Telegraph he would speak at the end of chief minister Vasundhara Raje's visit to Sawai Madhopur.
Devanish Meena has submitted evidence to the police, including letters and emails from Pratibha, indicating that her life was in danger and that her father was threatening her. Despite these efforts, Devanish faces challenges in obtaining justice, as the police are demanding eyewitnesses to the crime. Activists and journalists gathered at a press conference in Rajasthan, where Devanish shared his story, highlighting the lack of medical attention and post mortem examination for Pratibha. Furthermore, Devanish alleges that the police have been bribed by Pratibha's family to ignore or downplay the case, further complicating his pursuit of justice. [3]
Kavita Srivastava, secretary of the People's Union for Civil Liberties, and other women's rights activists have rallied in support of Devanish Meena, calling for a thorough investigation. Srivastava condemned the incident as a denial of the right to choice and an example of the societal control over women's honor by men.
Nisha Sidhu of the National Federation of Indian Women emphasized the need for specific legislation against honor killings in India. The Supreme Court of India has established guidelines to prevent such crimes, but these are not legally binding, and many police officers are unaware of them. Sidhu advocates for strict adherence to these guidelines until a new law is enacted. [4]
Many young women, subjected to violence by their parents and relatives due to their choice of marriage partners, seek refuge at rescue centers. Nisha Sidhu reports that these women often endure severe punishments, such as having iron rods applied to their genital organs, being burnt with cigarettes, or being forced to drink acid, which can cause irreparable harm.
Devanish Meena remains determined to seek justice for his late wife, Pratibha Gujar. He continues to fight for a thorough investigation and legal action against those responsible for her death. His commitment is reflected in his promise to pursue justice until the end, despite the significant obstacles he faces.
