New Delhi, April 27, 2011 – A 50-year-old Christian woman, Mrs. Sheema Zeilang (name changed), was forcibly evicted from her residence at D-6, Chattarpur Extension, along Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road, by a group led by Ashish Kumar (name changed), the son of the previous landowner.
Mrs. Zeilang, also known as Mary, was married to a Sikh man in 1992. In 1994, her husband purchased a piece of land—a farmhouse—from a local landlord in Chattarpur. Tragically, he passed away in 1995. Since then, Mary had been living alone on the property, as the couple had no children.
Despite the land being fully paid for, the situation deteriorated over time. Sonu Kumar, claiming the property belonged to him and not his late father, began harassing her. In mid-January 2011, Sonu, along with a group of accomplices, forcibly removed her belongings from the residence. The widow was thrown out without any legal notice or court order.
In distress, Mary called the police for help, but no officers arrived at the scene. With no support from law enforcement and no family to turn to, she has been left homeless and helpless.
This act of intimidation and property grabbing raises serious concerns about the vulnerability of widows, especially those from minority communities, and the inaction of local authorities in responding to such cases.
