Two Dalit men were brutally thrashed with sticks by four upper caste Hindu men for plucking chillies from their field at Miyuni village in Uttar Pradesh’s Kasganj district. Ajveer (25) and Jeetu (22) suffered injuries on their face, back and legs.
Neelam, Ajveer’s wife, was also assaulted while she tried to save her husband and her brother.
An FIR has been registered against the four men in the matter.
The Dalit men also complained about police inaction. They said, they were not sent for medical examination and no FIR was registered when they had approached the police station after the incident took place on Wednesday. On Thursday, they went to the SP office and showed their injury marks to senior officials there after which the FIR was registered, reported Times of India.
