Wells contaminated in MP village to punish Dalits
STAFF WRITER 21:51 HRS IST
Chhatarpur (MP), May 17 (PTI) To prevent Dalits from fetching water
from wells following an enmity related to panchayat polls in a village
near here, two upper caste men today allegedly contaminated the water
bodies by pouring kerosene into them, police said.
"Two persons, Narendra Singh and Dhiraj Singh, poured kerosene into
the wells being used by Dalits with an intention to make the water
unsafe for drinking," a police officer told reporters.
In the last panchayat election in Paye village, the candidate
supported by the Singh duo lost, leading to enmity between them and
Scheduled Caste persons. The two retaliated by pouring kerosene into
the wells, he said.
A case under ST/SC (Prevention of Atrocities) Act has been registered,
but not arrest has been made till now by the police.
