Hi Im a fan off the channel since the first upload.. can you cover the story of Mark Alvin Manliclic.. this case happened in the Philippines nearly 10 years ago..
FYI: "haram" is a Muslim term, it means forbidden, sinful. HOWEVER, it doesn't refer to people. I suppose you meant "outcasts." Haram is only used by Muslims, not at all by Hindus, and never in such a context.
19:52 the picture is not related to this case but to different case...which is also a trumating case ..that for sure hunt u ...!! I wish you to cover this case..!!and lastly I really like ur work...wish u all health and prosperity😊
Oh you should definitely watch the movie Article 15 and Jai Bhim. They may not be a true stories but they clearly show how casteism is still prevalent in India and all the upper castes see only the 1% Dalits who have come up with the help of reservations thanks to DR.B.R.Ambedkar and complain that "their opportunities" are taken away due to reservations.
@@holohulolo Brainwashing and fear. If all your life you been living in a dictatorship worshipping a horrible man since your childhood, not having any sort of access to the outside world, being uneducated since school is reserved for the "richer" family and pretty much being monitored every single day and hour, having the possibility to have your whole family killed for doing something so little. Not only that, but tons of north koreans are extremely poor, meaning they have no time to think about these type of things since they're too busy trying to survive poverty. The majority of them has given up the idea of ever getting their freedom, because they dont have any sort of hope for themselves neither. They lived in fear their whole life, of course they won't be able to unite since all of them are too scared to suffer the "consequences"
No way, you're absolutely right the authorities did nothing to stop those sickos. From what I've heard from this story, unless you're a wealthy person, that's the only way the police will ever get involved.
It really isn't. India still ranks as the 4th highest se_ual assault capital in the world. Even acid attacks aren't taken that seriously. It's a terrible place to live for young girls and women.
The only thing that I didn't like about this is that his friends got off scot-free. They all focused on Akku but without his friends he wouldn't have support and guts to do the things he did. They should've been punished as well as they were also contributors to the crimes.
Yes, this is a battle won but not the war. 🤔 Its interesting how often we memorialize the battle stories even if the war is not won, as if they hold a symbolic meaning. It's important to remember the difference though.
@@Reverse_Cowgirl-catVery true. India is plagued with these issues to this day. India has a very bad sexual assault (r word) culture, often blaming victims and some are even subject to honor killings and acid attacks. And no its not just a muslim thing as some mistakenly believe. It happens with hindus and sikhs as well. I've heard from Indian women how creepy and stalkerish Indian men can be towards them, and I've even seen abusive/obsessive men portrayed as cool, good, romantic guys in Indian music videos and films.
"Murder can never be justified." Yes it can. This is a case of where it exactly can. The leniency of mercy does not extend to those who refuse to participate in it. And the justice system refused to do anything about it so there was no moral qualm in dispensing justice outside it. Trying to paint this as anything but warranted and right only serves the abusers.
@@amethyst5619 I do believe you are on the wrong video trying to show some useless math knowledge in a completely inappropriate way. Get your kicks elsewhere. Nobody cares.
This case reminds me of the case of Ken Rex McElroy. He abused children and manipulated children into marrying him and terrorized his town and neighbours, thinking he was invincible because of his lawyer. After suffering his terror for so long the town made a collective effort to kill him and when questioned by authorities, refused to give up the killer’s name
I remember reading about that. That’s what gets me through the day. Life is unfair, but sometimes people will have had enough and will perform street justice. So be careful when you think you’re invincible
I just looked up that case and the fact people labeled it as "vigilantism" what was going on in America where a lynching was justice served but killing a man with children between GIRLS 12-15.. and killing any minor opposition was some kind of vengeful horror. What they did was peaceful. The law disgustingly failed them over and over, similar to this case.
Yes in Skidmore Missouri. I grew up in NW Missouri too so it was a well known incident. There was about 15-20 people present when McElroy was shot, and "nobody" saw what happened. He was an awful and violent man and the community protected the one brave enough to take him out.
I just love how Megan empowers the victims at the end, remembering their actions as an act of power against their oppression, not blaming them or comparing them to their perpetrator. Thanks Megan!
This reminds me of a similar murder that happened in the U.S. involving a man named Ken Rex McElroy. He, too, bullied and brutalized a town, Skidmore, Missouri for years with few repercussions. Finally, the townspeople were fed up and he was shot to death outside a bar by an angry mob of locals. No one was ever convicted of the crime. They made a movie about it called "In Broad Daylight," as well as at least 2 documentaries. Sometimes people feel the need to take the law into their own hands.
It's so wild how the authorities kept ignoring the people's reports, then now the smartypants are saying "But Akku was a human being too😢 how could yall" Baffling.
Everyone who was not a Dalit was on his side. I went to India once. I was there for two weeks. India is the only place I’ve ever stayed in my room for the entire trip after day two. You couldn’t pay me enough to go back.
This is why in India I am afraid to go out of my house. There is a famous case "pipili, Odisha gang rape" which was done by a politician and his friends. The girl was from lower caste. Their family were threatened to withdraw the case.
I don't want to be judge to the countries, but so many thing happen there. In 2019, the gang rape and murder of a 26-year-old veterinary doctor in Shamshabad, India. In that year, we have supplier issue and their product at India. The factory Manager at there ask one us to visit their factory. No one willing to go there including my manager. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), India recorded 88 rape cases every day in 2019. Out of the total 32,033 reported rape cases in the year, 11 per cent were from the Dalit community, as per NCRB’s annual report titled "Crimes in India -2019". I hope India government make improvement to their justice system.
@@knightoflight8373 And think of all the ones that go unreported. Near my hometown, a few men r*ped a woman whom the security guy was having an affair with. She was cheating on her husband with the security for months now. The lady had skin bitten off of her when she was found and bottles of glass shoved in her body parts. Two of them were found but the case was shut by her husband. The people blamed the woman for having an affair, saying that it's what she deserved for cheating. We need to change this mentality that such barbarity can be justified under any circumstances.
The real problem is the police. What was on their mind seeing the same person was put in jail for the same criminal activities. Didnt they think that this particular man has no remorse and is dangerous for the community?
@@GirirajGupta-gy1wt one of the victim is 12 years old. For gods sake, was the officer was so corrupt, they simply has no boundary to start thinking that this is too evil. Even between bad guys, there is a code of conduct. Example : i join the theft but i dont wanna hurt anyone in the process. But as officer, to let criminal act like that be done over and over again. Was the said region in the story was so desperately poor?
@@dtmdota6181 he wasn't poor at all That dame currupt greedy ass of his demanded more money to satisfy God knows what fetishes that son of a b*tch was having Being a police officer provides you with a free home , free electricity and water and ton of other services with a good pay and retirement pension So in theory there was no need for him to even take bribe ! You have to understand that curruption happens not due to poverty but greed As once Mahatma Gandhi said " *earth has resources to satisfy the needs of all but doesn't have resources to satisfy the greed of one* " Criminals have code of Honor currupt officials sell that honor so to answer your question they sold there honor , morality and loyalty to those bunch of barbarians
The caste system is such a cruel and evil thing. From what I've heard it's technically banned in India but people still use it regardless. It's so disgusting and vile
Akku yadav himself a lowe cast he is criminal and psycho and fact is that he supported by the police this is not related to the cast because a 13 year old girl who fighted with him her surname is narayana both are not higher cast but one of victims she doesn't mention his name he is tiwari he is Brahmin he was brutally killed by akku yadav
Ya seems like not many people in the comments mention that part. I mean the one police in particular that SA one of akku's victim when they went to him to report akku. Crazy.
Shame? What is shame if it puts food on your table? Well based on this story small favors and booze in one's tummy. It's a broken system, apparently both on the side of the law and the social structure. And it's not just in the setting of this story, it exists everywhere, where 90% of the populace is below the poverty line, the few with money and power play God in their little backyards with the local law/law enforcement under their thumb with bribes and favors, where they expect these favors to be returned.
Indian caste system is still causing trouble for many Dalits. I am a dalit myself and high caste people living in our neighborhood disapprove of us buying a house and living next to them. It's shameful how some people will never change, but I do know some who were nice to us.
I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened to you and your family. I know it means nothing but if you were in my country and I met you and your family, I would treat you with the utmost of respect. You deserve it. My heart goes out to the Dalit community. I hope one day the Dalit community will be free.
What caste that most Dalit caste in your opinion? And what the one that could be at least friendly? Is caste very tightly close with hindu religion in india? Could it caste system be gone from your opinion if hinduism and caste get separate?
It's kinda interwoven but misses the point. Caste system was never about respect, the arrogant upper class made it so. According to Hinduism everything is a illusion so I don't think it caste matters@@vonn2221
ALL of the police involved in this community should be charged. What they did to cover up Akku is inhuman. It's ironic that they think they're "superior" to the Dalits, when they act like animals.
Interesting fact: you're so clueless that i feel second-hand shame for you. how embarassing. why don't you take a quick google search to find out what Aku means. the fact that this comment has 300+ likes at the time of me writing this, while another who pointed out that you are just wrong has none, really speaks volumes to the potential power of misinformation in this day and age. actually embarassing.
Its part of hindu Hindu in my country also have caste Not extreme like india , we dont have dalit people And people treat equally But They forbiden married lower caste
@@Rover.M07In India we too don't have now .. But that time was really the worst...The year he began his criminal activities were 1991. India was newly formed and we were practically at war with china pak It was this year when India won and Bangladesh as a country emerged.. At that time neither the police system nor judiciary were strong... Things are relatively better..
Haaaaaa Curruption is still common as hell Crime is still rampant The only people that recive the so called stability are the city people of this dame nation I highly recommend visiting a backward region and ask all of them about gang violence and curruption You will see how much "developed" this country has @@pikachue602
Usha is a real hero and as you point out the catalyst for the Dalit people of Kasturba Nagar to stand up for themselves and obtain some sort of justice that had been denied to them by the institutions that should have helped them.
These things still happen. Im indian and im not going to sugar coat it. People saying things are better are higher caste. Ironically, im from the highest cast- but i had nothing to do with it, was born into it. These cruelties still happen. Recently a 9 year old boy was beaten up because he drank water from a water pump in a high caste area. Also, akku yadav wasnt handsome by any degree
There is no denying that stuff like this still unfortunately happens. But it is now far less in numbers compared to what used to happen 10-15 years back
This is both an appalling story but also an uplifting real life example of people power. The government and police everywhere should take note of stories like this because the human beings are nothing without dignity and once they've lost that they might rise up and take it back.
This is what happens when you push a group of people too far and the authorities did nothing this story reminds me of a Midwestern town in America back in the 1980s it was similar to the guy in this story but he practically bullied the whole town to the point that they all banded together and shot him to death. And to this day most of the citizens who knew the truth, they took it to their graves and it still remains a cold case
This man assumed the plot were the masterminds of this plot but it was a woman. It shows how men underestimate women when they stand equal grounds with men.
I heard about this years ago. Interesting how you are less likely to hear bad new about your country while actually living in it. Censorship is a bitch.
"Educated individuals, found it inconceivable that working class Dalit women could pick up weapons and engage it such brutal actions" lol. I believe that if more communities stood up against corrupt and ignorant legal authorities like this, that the process of justice would eventually be drummed into the 'justice system' and individuals would be treated with a sense of value at all times and not just when it would impact negatively on the country. (Every country still has apply this). Thanks for the video Megan.
Those that called themselves educated individuals and get shock by this outcome is actually show they less educated It's common sense that you'll reap what you sow Pitiful educated individuals, they so knowledgeable only in their little bubble
I remember reading about this case, horrendous stuff. I'm glad the ladies got their own justice. Really enjoying your content, you have a wonderful voice for narration 😊
@@thehuntermikipl1170 okay so, I'm proud of the people's unity and how they solved the problem **together** , and not to mention, i also said that I'm not proud of our justice system. Just say your a hater and go

The police horrified me in this case, and then 12:06 happened and I fucking lost it. They were not policemen, they were not working for the justice, they were just vile and corrupted.
While I am not 100% Indian (born in Ireland but partially Indian), I have been aware of India's severe caste system problem. It's clear that India lacks strategy to promote progressive projects and these heinous acts are still roaming in India today. I can only feel sad for the victims and can understand why they kill such a rapist.
@@sys9208🙄 oh typical blame 1% of the population despite statistical evidence that it is the middle castes who proliferate this statement to maintain their own hegemony. Typical of middle castes to blame one group bc they refuse to acknowledge they are the problem
India does have a caste issue but also a gender based violence and lack of policing issue. It is a country that was destroyed to its nubs by the British with only 13% of the population being educated when they left 75 years ago. India has a comprehensive reservation system where up to 50% of the seats are reserved for formerly oppressed castes but not taking into account the castes or people which have had successful upward mobility. Moreover a lot of things have changed in the last 75 years yet they world continues to condemn india without acknowledging that a lot has been done to uplift the oppressed castes. Hell if india didn’t have a good program how are the prime minister and president both from the lowest castes? And wildly popular at that. I’d say india has a long way to go socially, especially in villages and that is India’s burden and responsibility for its people where no western nation will help besides patronisation and condemnation.
Yes, this case is of 2004! I can say that caste based crime in India 20 years later...is much much less and people are have gotten lot more open minded...However mentality of oldies generations especially in remotest villages still needs little more time to change. India has 65% below the age of 35 so we can expect atleast 65% population who are millennial and Z's to not believe in castes! Today The highest office of the country, President of India chair is held by -Draupadi Murumuru, she comes from a tribal community.. and, Chief Information Commissioner of India, Heeralal Samariya, he comes from Dalit community! 🙂
I'm playing devils advocate here, but the system is pretty smart, since funfact, it's common for foreign people of smaller numbers to conquer an Kingdom with more people, if the conquerors don't want to be assimilated, making an social divide is optimal, I mean, do you want YOUR people to ALL be nobles? It's an simple choice for 99% of people with an brain.
My mom come from village like this… the only difference is that no matter how hard the people want to fight back, they couldn’t cause the gang have gun. If they didn’t, her village would be fight back asap.
Intrigued and shocked. Does anyone know if the gang members and police were ever brought to justice themselves for this, especially given that the judge made it clear that the police failed in their duties?
RIP Asha and all other murder and rape victims of this group and across India. Men who attack lone women (or any vulnerable people) in groups are the ultimate cowards. He got justice but did the rest of his group? The caste system of India breeds oppression also by the state but mysogyny is still a world wide problem. Women should be respected or face judgement/ justice. Usha was a fierce warrior, times are changing. Thanks for your storytelling.
The caste system isn't legal anymore, but unfortunally many people still follow it. I heard stories of Dalits who turn Christians to spare their kids of this mistreatment
It is technically illegal in India right now but in some rural areas it's still being used which sucks but what can we even do about it if older people aren't changing with time...
Dr Ambedkar converted to Buddhism after failing to get rights for Dalits into the constitution due to opposition from Mohandas Gandhi who was afraid it would destroy Hinduism
"In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it's necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it is an emotional response. No, not justice. Punishment."
Indian police is the worst in the world. Women and girls are often at their mercy if they report any sexual assault case. They were treated like thrash. Even the famous 2012 Nirbhaya case took 8 long years before the perpetrators were hanged. And this case was tried in a fast track court. Imagine thousands other cases still pending with justice seemingly elusive.
@@ece282 Where is caste/class in Christianity? On the contrary, the bible speaks against favouritism and teaches us that God is not partial, rewarding faith
A small rural area from our State has an urban legend of some kind. There was a serial child r*pist, people didn't know his identity at first. But when his latest victim survived his attempt to kill them, his identity was revealed. The police kept him in a overnight lock up jail. One of the night shift guard was a friend of the latest victim's father. He snuck the r*pist out and led him to a wooded area at the outskirt of the village. The next day when the other polices found out about his disappearance they went to the same wooded area. They witnessed hundreds of men (fathers) walk out of the forest. The police went into the forest and found the perpetrator dead and brutally mutilated. When questioned, all the men of the village had only one thing to say "he was already dead when we found him". The police couldn't do any further investigation ( they didn't even want to) and set all the men free.
Being an Indian, i was raised in an environment where i was never exposed to such a backward thing called "caste system". Neither my parents ever talked about it nor anyone else ever mentioned it so i never knew there's such a thing that exists until i was like 14 and get to know about it through the internet and i was really baffled and disgusted upon knowing that such a discriminatory bs actually exists. Like i didn't even believed it at first because it was just this hard to believe at for me. But after realising it does, i was left with no other choice but to completely reject it. I am really really glad that my parents were never into such bs. I'm 18 now and I can proudly say that i don't know what my cast is, and i am not even interested in finding out about it.
If you never knew what your caste is - yo are most definitely from the higher castes. Lower cast people do not have the privilege to forget their caste, they are reminded of it in every stage.
You'll find out soon enough when you fill out your college and job applications and see people with 30% getting the college seat or job instead of you who scored way higher coz of their caste.
I read more into the case, and the fact that the Indian Police went as far as to support him due to his bribery... Disgusting. I don't blame these women at all for taking matters in their own hands as they had essentially been failed by the system from the start.
This is why an unbiased judicial system of justice is necessary, as when those wronged are not given justice, they will take justice into their own hands.
this is a major example of how state sanctioned violence goes ignored when lowest social group are victimized. for years Akku terrorized this entire community with impunity enabled by the people whose role was to protect the most vulnerable people in this town. i’ll always admire the strength of these women and any other marginalized group who’ve stood in the face of oppression to protect their own.
This reminds me of an old African proverb that ssys, "The child( or disenfranchised) who is not embraced( listened to) by the village( authorities) will burn it down to feel its warmth."
i had seen the documentary about this case and i was glad that the victims themselves got their justice which the judicial system had failed doing for such a long time.
Lol "Murder is never justified" after fifteen minutes of explaining how it most certainly was justified. Very interesting story, I'll be checking out other vids on your channel.
@@liliesrnice Where exactly did I deny the existence or occurrence of sexual violence in my previous statement? Please kindly illuminate others and myself of this insolence. The key word is "always", but according to the evidences you point out that is present everywhere, this is not an exclusively male instigated abhorrent and reprehensible inclination. Ergo, it's an outright lie, a false statement, and blatant misinformation. Your obvious support of this falsehood shows you are a dishonest, and untrustworthy person lacking any sense of ethics or moral compass for perpetrating a despicable and devisive lie.
@@Kulayyu Glad your second comment was deleted it, you were just throwing random words into plenty of run on sentences. “Always” Google is a free search engine! According to statistics around the world men always commit violent r*pe crimes like this case against women. It isn’t false statement it is truth, you’re making a argument out of nothing. I’d like to quote your second comment because it’s full of falseness and words being used in their wrong term. Looks like TH-cam agrees and deleted your comment since it didn’t make sense to the monitoring AI Bot either 😂.
Listen, I don't condone murder, but I sort of feel like this was self defense... he was a threat to all women at this point. The police weren't stopping him, and he made it clear he wasn't going to stop on his own. He felt no shame, guilt, or remorse for what he was doing, so any woman in that crowd could be next, if they hadn't already been assaulted by him before.
@@shaktimishra9710No those countries are literally all better then India for women. Not perfect but I'd say 85% better.😂😂 In Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Iraq at least there's a death penalty for rape.
4:30 what a horrible system it's almost like something from the medieval era. those poor people were practically labeled as serfs. Also this story reminds me of an incident back in 1980's in a small Missouri town in which the townspeople banded together and killed their town bully.
coz it was practiced in the medieval era not today the caste angle has nothing to do with this story - brought in by the narrator for god knows what reason and ofc people are falling for it.
@sakshigupta8603 it was brought up because Akku was wealthier and, therefore, higher caste than most of the members of the community he brutalized. He was higher rank than them, so he was treated more leniently than if he was a a Dalit or if his victims were higher rank than him. Dalits historically have had much harder times seeking justice for sexual assualt.You can't deny that it's an important thing to mention when talking about a person committing state sanctioned violence (i say state sanctioned because he bribed the police, bought them drinks, and ran to them for help on several occasions) against an oppressed group.
@@sakshigupta8603it's not exactly like mediaeval times but it is still there. No denying in it . Go to any village in the Deccan India. Not only villages , even most well educated people of cities too... See any matrimonial... U will find caste...
I don't remember where I heard this but I think it was from someone in the law, they said murder can still be justified. Especially when the said murderer is a victim. Let's say human trafficked victim finally fights back from their captors which ends the captor's life.
this reminds me of this one dude in the US who was considered a menace by the whole town that at one point, they lynched him. shot up his truck with him inside it. when the police arrived and started asking questions, no one would dare say anything.
Hi Megan I just want to say a big thank you for covering this case. (A request which I made in your comments two months ago on the case of Lucy Blackman) Thanks again.
Like Ken McElroy of Skidmore, MO. When people are terrorised for YEARS whilst the gov't/justice system is out to lunch, people take matters into their own hands. Deserved justice in both cases.
Reminds me of the story of a rapist who supposedly killed himself by stabbing himself 42 times and everybody hate him enough that they just accepted that and claimed ignorance of how ridiculous that was
btw his nephew who follow his uncle footstep ironically end up like his uncle but not by angry mobs its just 2 angry girls who did it coz his nephew harrassing one of girl Grandmother.
Excuse my statement. Victims of wrong-doings like above often not get the justice or help when needed. Their cries for help get ignored and when bad things happen as a result people get surprised. 😕
No "social system " like that, used to be in very old days... But it's like racism against afro American people in uSA, used to be an issue but now just played for victim card
I think it’s important to note that the constitution abolished any such sort of hierarchical system and untouchability. There are constitutional bodies that take up issues on caste atrocities. But especially in Rural areas where social systems are stricter, an informal caste system (Though relatively less compared to the time akku committed the crimes I.e 1990s) still exists and is unfortunate.
All Capitalist Society have a Cast system, in the Western World its Upper (Ruling Elite) Class, Middle Class, and Lower (Working) Class and it also takes advantage of the lower classes, You look at how much time people spend in prison for the same type of crime and certain crimes the wealthy will get away with
This isn’t about the caste system, apparently Akku was a lower caste himself that just happened to be richer than everyone else and had social clout. This kind of thing happens regardless of there being a caste system or not.
Women are only goddesses and worship worthy as long as we meet the Brahminical patriarchal standards of India. You're only a goddess if you shu..t up, dress modestly, take all abu$3 and be an Indian virg..in trad wife. If you don't check the list, you're not goddess or whatever. At the end of the day, all false progression laid by religion comes with it's own set of standards and rules, which are inherently meant to control and abu&3 women.
@ChristinaFromTH-cam what is weird is there are no races, we are all more closely related than people like to admit: common ancestor about 4.5k years ago
Megan, I love your script writing style, how you speak, your cadence, eloquence, and the whole mood you create to narrate the story. Even your research do not have any gap. Good going. Keep it up...
Could you do the case of Thailand’s epic drama of a missing 3 years old girl who was later found starved to death in the hill forest? The case of UNCLE POL and the little niece CHOMPU. The court just punished him for the crime but during 3 years investigation the case became the CIRCUS. Some money hungry Thai medias made him A SUPERSTAR. Uncle Pol gained million of fans like the cult. He even released the music video and a single featuring a famous country singer. The Thai police team here is PHENOMENAL. They sent the undercover cops to mingle with the villagers in so many ways possible. The merchants, the farmers, the village drivers etc. for 3 years to monitor every move of Uncle Pol. The killing evidence the police found and never released to any media was the hair cut by the scissor before the little girl died. This forensic evidence just tied Uncle Pol to the kidnap and murder. Some evidence led to the theory that he killed her for the satan worship. See? This case is madness and circus indeed. The police team is the only calmness in this media storm.
@@RandalReid you don't cause of you none! She is channel who covering different types of cases! But your pea sized brain won't get that's totally something I can see
a small note on Dalit identity: Dalit usually doesn’t refer to a caste at all, it refers to people who have no caste. they exist outside of the caste system entirely which is why they are so marginalized. when you're part of a lower caste, even if you're low on the totem pole, you’re still on the totem pole. Dalit people are excluded from the totem pole (society) entirely.
This story makes me think of the song, Dana Dan, by the Indian band, Bloodywood. They very much sing out against rapists and those who victimize women.. And they totally kick ass at doing that.. "Raise a fist for the nameless faces he distraces..*
If you continue to turn a blind eye to injustices that are occurring in your own countries, don’t be surprised when ppl start fighting back. You can only poke a bear so many times before it defends itself against you. Most ppl just want to raise their families and enjoy the little time they have on this planet in peace. Imagine believing that your skin color or social class gives you the right to treat other human beings like trash. Shame on those of you who sit back and say/do nothing when marginalized ppl are being mistreated.
While in Indian cities, the caste system is pretty much gone, in some villages, which are much less developed and poor, there is still the caste system in full swing. I am fortunate enough to be a city-boy from a wealthy family, but it must be terrible for the small boys and girls in tiny villages, who do not have easy access to many things and get mistreated for their caste.
A horrific incident has happened in india again a female doctor is raped and mudered. She was gang raped but authority has only arrested one only and they are trying to hide evidance i would like if you cover that case. Its recent.

FYI: "haram" is a Muslim term, it means forbidden, sinful. HOWEVER, it doesn't refer to people. I suppose you meant "outcasts." Haram is only used by Muslims, not at all by Hindus, and never in such a context.
19:52 the picture is not related to this case but to different case...which is also a trumating case ..that for sure hunt u ...!! I wish you to cover this case..!!and lastly I really like ur work...wish u all health and prosperity😊
Oh you should definitely watch the movie Article 15 and Jai Bhim. They may not be a true stories but they clearly show how casteism is still prevalent in India and all the upper castes see only the 1% Dalits who have come up with the help of reservations thanks to DR.B.R.Ambedkar and complain that "their opportunities" are taken away due to reservations.

Not only that, but tons of north koreans are extremely poor, meaning they have no time to think about these type of things since they're too busy trying to survive poverty.
The majority of them has given up the idea of ever getting their freedom, because they dont have any sort of hope for themselves neither. They lived in fear their whole life, of course they won't be able to unite since all of them are too scared to suffer the "consequences"

You can down vote me, but justice was served. If anyone is to blame, it’s the authorities. I hope India is a better place now.
No way, you're absolutely right the authorities did nothing to stop those sickos. From what I've heard from this story, unless you're a wealthy person, that's the only way the police will ever get involved.
It really isn't. India still ranks as the 4th highest se_ual assault capital in the world. Even acid attacks aren't taken that seriously. It's a terrible place to live for young girls and women.

The only thing that I didn't like about this is that his friends got off scot-free. They all focused on Akku but without his friends he wouldn't have support and guts to do the things he did. They should've been punished as well as they were also contributors to the crimes.
Yes, this is a battle won but not the war.
🤔 Its interesting how often we memorialize the battle stories even if the war is not won, as if they hold a symbolic meaning. It's important to remember the difference though.
@@Reverse_Cowgirl-catVery true. India is plagued with these issues to this day. India has a very bad sexual assault (r word) culture, often blaming victims and some are even subject to honor killings and acid attacks. And no its not just a muslim thing as some mistakenly believe. It happens with hindus and sikhs as well. I've heard from Indian women how creepy and stalkerish Indian men can be towards them, and I've even seen abusive/obsessive men portrayed as cool, good, romantic guys in Indian music videos and films.
They most likely fled from Nagpur as it would be stupid to live in a place where you are guaranteed to get skinned alive
That is what I was thinking as well
Akku did not have any "friends", he had gang members and pretty sure most of them are in jail for various crimes.
"Murder can never be justified." Yes it can. This is a case of where it exactly can. The leniency of mercy does not extend to those who refuse to participate in it. And the justice system refused to do anything about it so there was no moral qualm in dispensing justice outside it. Trying to paint this as anything but warranted and right only serves the abusers.
The fact that he's rich only supports your point
True. If the justice system fails to help, people will take justice in their own hands.

This case reminds me of the case of Ken Rex McElroy. He abused children and manipulated children into marrying him and terrorized his town and neighbours, thinking he was invincible because of his lawyer. After suffering his terror for so long the town made a collective effort to kill him and when questioned by authorities, refused to give up the killer’s name
I remember reading about that. That’s what gets me through the day. Life is unfair, but sometimes people will have had enough and will perform street justice. So be careful when you think you’re invincible
@@BELIEVER78989 yes Reminds me of Marianne Bachmeier.. Law had failed, but justice was served! 👏
I just looked up that case and the fact people labeled it as "vigilantism" what was going on in America where a lynching was justice served but killing a man with children between GIRLS 12-15.. and killing any minor opposition was some kind of vengeful horror. What they did was peaceful. The law disgustingly failed them over and over, similar to this case.
Yes in Skidmore Missouri. I grew up in NW Missouri too so it was a well known incident. There was about 15-20 people present when McElroy was shot, and "nobody" saw what happened. He was an awful and violent man and the community protected the one brave enough to take him out.
I remember a case similar but difference is, law enforcement knew who the killer was but classified the death of the pedo as a suicide
it's ironic that Aku (悪/악) means "evil" in Chinese/Korean/Japanese language lollll. and he is akku!
Akku is a common nickname here in India
Akku also means shit in russian
aku and akku are different words though entirely in those languages
aku means “I am” in Indonesian language lol
In our language Aku means parrot 😂😂
I just love how Megan empowers the victims at the end, remembering their actions as an act of power against their oppression, not blaming them or comparing them to their perpetrator.
Thanks Megan!
This reminds me of a similar murder that happened in the U.S. involving a man named Ken Rex McElroy. He, too, bullied and brutalized a town, Skidmore, Missouri for years with few repercussions. Finally, the townspeople were fed up and he was shot to death outside a bar by an angry mob of locals. No one was ever convicted of the crime.
They made a movie about it called "In Broad Daylight," as well as at least 2 documentaries. Sometimes people feel the need to take the law into their own hands.
@@Cloudancer2024 Yes, agree with U
Empowering the victims by only mentioning them briefly throughout the entire video and continuously naming the rapist? 🤨🙄
@flonny1340 ......the video is about the crimes of this man, why would he not be mentioned more than the victims.
This remind me of Palestine. Always blame the oppressor and not the oppressed (victim)
It's so wild how the authorities kept ignoring the people's reports, then now the smartypants are saying "But Akku was a human being too😢 how could yall"
Baffling.

How can you justify him no no no he was not human there some wrong with you 🤦♀️🤯👎
The police in india are very corrupt they will bend toward money.
Notice how being rich gains sympathy of those in power/with a voice.
Everyone who was not a Dalit was on his side.
I went to India once.
I was there for two weeks.
India is the only place I’ve ever stayed in my room for the entire trip after day two.
You couldn’t pay me enough to go back.
This is why in India I am afraid to go out of my house. There is a famous case "pipili, Odisha gang rape" which was done by a politician and his friends. The girl was from lower caste. Their family were threatened to withdraw the case.
I don't want to be judge to the countries, but so many thing happen there. In 2019, the gang rape and murder of a 26-year-old veterinary doctor in Shamshabad, India. In that year, we have supplier issue and their product at India. The factory Manager at there ask one us to visit their factory. No one willing to go there including my manager.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), India recorded 88 rape cases every day in 2019. Out of the total 32,033 reported rape cases in the year, 11 per cent were from the Dalit community, as per NCRB’s annual report titled "Crimes in India -2019".
I hope India government make improvement to their justice system.

And it's not just in the setting of this story, it exists everywhere, where 90% of the populace is below the poverty line, the few with money and power play God in their little backyards with the local law/law enforcement under their thumb with bribes and favors, where they expect these favors to be returned.

Recently a 9 year old boy was beaten up because he drank water from a water pump in a high caste area. Also, akku yadav wasnt handsome by any degree
which is why Modi the low caste is really secretly a 'brahmin' . Again made up hinduphobic nonsense
There is no denying that stuff like this still unfortunately happens. But it is now far less in numbers compared to what used to happen 10-15 years back
Is normal in my country too sadly
The police are just as bad as Akku, victim blaming and letting him off easy wtf
This is both an appalling story but also an uplifting real life example of people power. The government and police everywhere should take note of stories like this because the human beings are nothing without dignity and once they've lost that they might rise up and take it back.
This is what happens when you push a group of people too far and the authorities did nothing this story reminds me of a Midwestern town in America back in the 1980s it was similar to the guy in this story but he practically bullied the whole town to the point that they all banded together and shot him to death.

"Educated individuals, found it inconceivable that working class Dalit women could pick up weapons and engage it such brutal actions" lol.

India does have a caste issue but also a gender based violence and lack of policing issue. It is a country that was destroyed to its nubs by the British with only 13% of the population being educated when they left 75 years ago. India has a comprehensive reservation system where up to 50% of the seats are reserved for formerly oppressed castes but not taking into account the castes or people which have had successful upward mobility. Moreover a lot of things have changed in the last 75 years yet they world continues to condemn india without acknowledging that a lot has been done to uplift the oppressed castes.
Hell if india didn’t have a good program how are the prime minister and president both from the lowest castes? And wildly popular at that.
I’d say india has a long way to go socially, especially in villages and that is India’s burden and responsibility for its people where no western nation will help besides patronisation and condemnation.

A small rural area from our State has an urban legend of some kind. There was a serial child r*pist, people didn't know his identity at first. But when his latest victim survived his attempt to kill them, his identity was revealed. The police kept him in a overnight lock up jail. One of the night shift guard was a friend of the latest victim's father. He snuck the r*pist out and led him to a wooded area at the outskirt of the village. The next day when the other polices found out about his disappearance they went to the same wooded area. They witnessed hundreds of men (fathers) walk out of the forest. The police went into the forest and found the perpetrator dead and brutally mutilated. When questioned, all the men of the village had only one thing to say "he was already dead when we found him". The police couldn't do any further investigation ( they didn't even want to) and set all the men free.
Being an Indian, i was raised in an environment where i was never exposed to such a backward thing called "caste system". Neither my parents ever talked about it nor anyone else ever mentioned it so i never knew there's such a thing that exists until i was like 14 and get to know about it through the internet and i was really baffled and disgusted upon knowing that such a discriminatory bs actually exists. Like i didn't even believed it at first because it was just this hard to believe at for me. But after realising it does, i was left with no other choice but to completely reject it. I am really really glad that my parents were never into such bs. I'm 18 now and I can proudly say that i don't know what my cast is, and i am not even interested in finding out about it.

this is a major example of how state sanctioned violence goes ignored when lowest social group are victimized. for years Akku terrorized this entire community with impunity enabled by the people whose role was to protect the most vulnerable people in this town. i’ll always admire the strength of these women and any other marginalized group who’ve stood in the face of oppression to protect their own.
but hes a low caste himself so lets not turn this is some 'caste' oppression properganda nonsense
This reminds me of an old African proverb that ssys, "The child( or disenfranchised) who is not embraced( listened to) by the village( authorities) will burn it down to feel its warmth."
i had seen the documentary about this case and i was glad that the victims themselves got their justice which the judicial system had failed doing for such a long time.
Like how did the police explain away the literal beheading of the one woman tho?
They probably said she did it to herself. It was as credible to them as any of the other stories about the crimes.
“Murder, can never be justified…” I beg to differ.
i heard about the case and saw the netflix version too...i mean it's crazy and thanks megan for covering this case
may i know the title?

thank you@@JamieOnyekosor-hi9ge
They were victims but they were also discriminated I don't know how people can do these kind of crimes:
Lol "Murder is never justified" after fifteen minutes of explaining how it most certainly was justified. Very interesting story, I'll be checking out other vids on your channel.
cast system is disgusting . all humans should receive equal opportunities
That is justice which is rarely seen in India.
why's this the craziest true crime story ive listened to 😭
I've listened to a case that sounds like YBC come to life and I STILL agree with you 💀💀
Karma is a bitch isn’t it Akku!
karma ain't a bitch because akku could never get any 💀💀
@@Amaya19264are you referring women as bitches?
Ironically the law seemed to protect Akku despite his brutal crimes and had the nerve to arrest women? Failed justice!
I am glad I'm not born in India but was happy how those people eventually fought for justice. Disgusted by those police. They should be ashamed.
Those poor women .my heart breaks for them.That they had to kill to protect themselves. This is such a sad sad story.
Almost 2024 and it is still, indeed, always men.
Almost 2024 and it is still, indeed, morons on the internet generalising.
Always? Really? Can you back that up with iron clad evidence? No, you can't can you? Go peddle your hate elsewhere.
@@KulayyuThere is proof everywhere, you just want to deny it.
@@liliesrnice Where exactly did I deny the existence or occurrence of sexual violence in my previous statement? Please kindly illuminate others and myself of this insolence. The key word is "always", but according to the evidences you point out that is present everywhere, this is not an exclusively male instigated abhorrent and reprehensible inclination. Ergo, it's an outright lie, a false statement, and blatant misinformation. Your obvious support of this falsehood shows you are a dishonest, and untrustworthy person lacking any sense of ethics or moral compass for perpetrating a despicable and devisive lie.
@@Kulayyu Glad your second comment was deleted it, you were just throwing random words into plenty of run on sentences.
“Always” Google is a free search engine! According to statistics around the world men always commit violent r*pe crimes like this case against women. It isn’t false statement it is truth, you’re making a argument out of nothing. I’d like to quote your second comment because it’s full of falseness and words being used in their wrong term. Looks like TH-cam agrees and deleted your comment since it didn’t make sense to the monitoring AI Bot either 😂.
This particular case is from my hometown of Nagpur India. Harrowing case, shameful tbh. Justice was definitely served.
WHAT
Listen, I don't condone murder, but I sort of feel like this was self defense... he was a threat to all women at this point. The police weren't stopping him, and he made it clear he wasn't going to stop on his own. He felt no shame, guilt, or remorse for what he was doing, so any woman in that crowd could be next, if they hadn't already been assaulted by him before.
India has no justice for women
Like many other countries.
Yes right women got no justice in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South korea, sauid Arabia, Iran , iraq 😢
It was before now women literally have superpowers, they can send a man in Jail for just one rape or dowry accusation
@@Sunshine-lo6vdNo country has justice for women
@@shaktimishra9710No those countries are literally all better then India for women. Not perfect but I'd say 85% better.😂😂
In Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Iraq at least there's a death penalty for rape.
And Indian justice system is still horrible and convoluted
4:30 what a horrible system it's almost like something from the medieval era. those poor people were practically labeled as serfs.
Also this story reminds me of an incident back in 1980's in a small Missouri town in which the townspeople banded together and killed their town bully.
Scary place to live
The people labeled lower caste were called untouchables. Thag much for the culture
coz it was practiced in the medieval era not today
the caste angle has nothing to do with this story - brought in by the narrator for god knows what reason and ofc people are falling for it.
@sakshigupta8603 it was brought up because Akku was wealthier and, therefore, higher caste than most of the members of the community he brutalized. He was higher rank than them, so he was treated more leniently than if he was a a Dalit or if his victims were higher rank than him. Dalits historically have had much harder times seeking justice for sexual assualt.You can't deny that it's an important thing to mention when talking about a person committing state sanctioned violence (i say state sanctioned because he bribed the police, bought them drinks, and ran to them for help on several occasions) against an oppressed group.
@@sakshigupta8603it's not exactly like mediaeval times but it is still there. No denying in it . Go to any village in the Deccan India. Not only villages , even most well educated people of cities too... See any matrimonial... U will find caste...
Murder should never be justified? I feel several hundred people disagree
I don't remember where I heard this but I think it was from someone in the law, they said murder can still be justified. Especially when the said murderer is a victim. Let's say human trafficked victim finally fights back from their captors which ends the captor's life.
Have some empathy. These people lived in fear everyday with no hope
@@rabab473 no
@@justsomeone9667I‘m pretty sure that would count as self defense and not as murder
It was the justice which wasn't given to them so they snatched it !!
Megan I’m hooked on your channel love you content the way you explain
this reminds me of this one dude in the US who was considered a menace by the whole town that at one point, they lynched him. shot up his truck with him inside it. when the police arrived and started asking questions, no one would dare say anything.
Hi Megan
I just want to say a big thank you for covering this case. (A request which I made in your comments two months ago on the case of Lucy Blackman)
Thanks again.
Merry Christmas Megan! Asha and Usha are heroes. Thank you for sharing their stories 💜
Like Ken McElroy of Skidmore, MO. When people are terrorised for YEARS whilst the gov't/justice system is out to lunch, people take matters into their own hands. Deserved justice in both cases.
Reminds me of the story of a rapist who supposedly killed himself by stabbing himself 42 times and everybody hate him enough that they just accepted that and claimed ignorance of how ridiculous that was
btw his nephew who follow his uncle footstep ironically end up like his uncle but not by angry mobs its just 2 angry girls who did it coz his nephew harrassing one of girl Grandmother.
Excuse my statement.
Victims of wrong-doings like above often not get the justice or help when needed.
Their cries for help get ignored and when bad things happen as a result people get surprised. 😕
Having a social system is unfair. It allows others to take advantage of poorer castes. Anyways, I am looking forward to the next video Megan
No "social system " like that, used to be in very old days... But it's like racism against afro American people in uSA, used to be an issue but now just played for victim card
I think it’s important to note that the constitution abolished any such sort of hierarchical system and untouchability. There are constitutional bodies that take up issues on caste atrocities. But especially in Rural areas where social systems are stricter, an informal caste system (Though relatively less compared to the time akku committed the crimes I.e 1990s) still exists and is unfortunate.
All Capitalist Society have a Cast system, in the Western World its Upper (Ruling Elite) Class, Middle Class, and Lower (Working) Class and it also takes advantage of the lower classes, You look at how much time people spend in prison for the same type of crime and certain crimes the wealthy will get away with
This isn’t about the caste system, apparently Akku was a lower caste himself that just happened to be richer than everyone else and had social clout. This kind of thing happens regardless of there being a caste system or not.
@@Sofiaode18any crime,,,,ppl talk abt caste.
Thanks for this!! You told the whole story in 20 minutes. I tried to watch the Netflix series but it was too long-winded. Yours was more gripping.
Shocked how women are treated there for all the more important their goddesses and feminine energies are..
Women are only goddesses and worship worthy as long as we meet the Brahminical patriarchal standards of India. You're only a goddess if you shu..t up, dress modestly, take all abu$3 and be an Indian virg..in trad wife. If you don't check the list, you're not goddess or whatever. At the end of the day, all false progression laid by religion comes with it's own set of standards and rules, which are inherently meant to control and abu&3 women.
A country where a caste system exists is a very primitive one.
show me a country where your race will not affect your social status, please
@@iaindcosta its weird because they're not different races.
This is weird Victorian London behavior.
@ChristinaFromTH-cam what is weird is there are no races, we are all more closely related than people like to admit: common ancestor about 4.5k years ago
@@iaindcosta there ARE races lol
Explain Tay Sachs or sickle cell anemia if they're not genetically unique

Sometimes vigilantism IS justice.
Thank you for fighting back!
Megan, I love your script writing style, how you speak, your cadence, eloquence, and the whole mood you create to narrate the story. Even your research do not have any gap. Good going. Keep it up...
Could you do the case of Thailand’s epic drama of a missing 3 years old girl who was later found starved to death in the hill forest? The case of UNCLE POL and the little niece CHOMPU. The court just punished him for the crime but during 3 years investigation the case became the CIRCUS. Some money hungry Thai medias made him A SUPERSTAR. Uncle Pol gained million of fans like the cult. He even released the music video and a single featuring a famous country singer.
The Thai police team here is PHENOMENAL. They sent the undercover cops to mingle with the villagers in so many ways possible. The merchants, the farmers, the village drivers etc. for 3 years to monitor every move of Uncle Pol.
The killing evidence the police found and never released to any media was the hair cut by the scissor before the little girl died. This forensic evidence just tied Uncle Pol to the kidnap and murder.
Some evidence led to the theory that he killed her for the satan worship.
See? This case is madness and circus indeed. The police team is the only calmness in this media storm.
WOW
Caste system needs to go. India cannot ever be anything good while the caste system still exist
how can the caste system go when Brahmins are essential to the religion?

I'm glad you find out about this topic. It is truly shock and disbelief.
something is horribly wrong with this country authority
a small note on Dalit identity: Dalit usually doesn’t refer to a caste at all, it refers to people who have no caste. they exist outside of the caste system entirely which is why they are so marginalized. when you're part of a lower caste, even if you're low on the totem pole, you’re still on the totem pole. Dalit people are excluded from the totem pole (society) entirely.
This story makes me think of the song, Dana Dan, by the Indian band, Bloodywood.
They very much sing out against rapists and those who victimize women.. And they totally kick ass at doing that.. "Raise a fist for the nameless faces he distraces..*
I have a new band to check out thank you!
Thanks for highlighting such an incident and showing the society that women can fight for themselves for their rights and work together.
"due to his handsome appearance...." 😂😂.....with a Cig parked behind his right ear.
Yeah, he was a regular Brad Pitt. 😆
If you continue to turn a blind eye to injustices that are occurring in your own countries, don’t be surprised when ppl start fighting back. You can only poke a bear so many times before it defends itself against you.
Most ppl just want to raise their families and enjoy the little time they have on this planet in peace.
Imagine believing that your skin color or social class gives you the right to treat other human beings like trash. Shame on those of you who sit back and say/do nothing when marginalized ppl are being mistreated.
While in Indian cities, the caste system is pretty much gone, in some villages, which are much less developed and poor, there is still the caste system in full swing. I am fortunate enough to be a city-boy from a wealthy family, but it must be terrible for the small boys and girls in tiny villages, who do not have easy access to many things and get mistreated for their caste.
A horrific incident has happened in india again a female doctor is raped and mudered. She was gang raped but authority has only arrested one only and they are trying to hide evidance i would like if you cover that case. Its recent. It would help if other countries also know about this case. You can search kolkata doctor case. Please cover this one its my request to you people should know about it
