ANANTAPUR: In a shocking incident, a disabled 45-year old Dalit, was
severely beaten up by upper caste villagers and he succumbed to his
injuries later.
The incident happened at Namala village in CK Palle mandal yesterday
at the Adhar card distribution centre.
When Harijan Tirupal went to get his Adhar card at the distribution
centre, there was a big queue. He met the officials concerned and
explained to them that being physically disabled, he cannot stand for
long and requested them to issue him the card early.
Following his request, the officials asked him to sit in the chair and
wait for some time.
Meanwhile local villagers B Venkatarami Reddy and Narendra Reddy along
with two others, who were present there, took exception to Tirupal
circumventing the queue and sitting in the chair in front of them.
They dragged him from the chair and beat him up mercilessly. Left out
of breath, Tirupal returned home and narrated the incident to the
family members.
He suddenly collapsed complaining of chest pain and even as the family
members tried to shift him to Dharmavaram hospital, he succumbed to
the injuries.
When the news spread today morning, Dharmavaram DSP Vijayakumar
visited the village. CK Palle police registered a case.
