A 14-year-old Dalit boy was brutally beaten by upper-caste Hindu men in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
According to a complaint lodged by the deceased’s father, Pappu Ram, it said, “My son Vijay Kumar Gautam had gone to a shop a few days ago where the owner – Guddu Singh – along with his friends Pakru Singh, Saurabh Singh and Shivam Singh accused Gautam of stealing mangoes and rice. They then beat my son mercilessly until he fell unconscious.”
