Vachathi case
The Vachathi case refers to a crime that happened on 20 June 1992 in the Vachathi village of Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu. A team comprising 155 forest personnel, 108 policemen and six revenue officials entered the Dalit-dominated Vachathi village, searching for smuggled sandalwood and to know about Veerappan. Under the pretext of conducting a search, the team ransacked the villagers' property, destroyed their houses, killed their cattle, assaulted around 100 villagers, and raped 18 women.〔(India abuse: Scores guilty of Dalit rape and torture )〕
After court order, CBI was probing this case. The case was also under NHRC scanner.
On 29 September 2011, a special court in India convicted all 269 accused officials for atrocity on Dalits and 17 for rape. 54 of the accused had died by the time; the remaining 215 were sentenced to jail.〔(215 sentenced to jail in Vachathi case )〕
==Background==
Vachathi is a village located in Dharmapuri district, away from the state capital Chennai. During June 1992, the villagers, who were mostly tribals and Dalits, the lower section of society, prevented forest and revenue officials from entering the hamlet. The officials complained that the villagers were involved in sandalwood smuggling and aiding Veerappan, a notorious forest brigand. During the evening, 269 officials comprising 155 forest personnel, 108 policemen and six revenue officials, raided the village and herded them under a tree. Hundred men from the village were brutally assaulted while 18 women were gangraped. The raid continued for two days when the hamlet was demolished.
