Dalit death: 3 cops shifted, 9 suspended

GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad police has transferred three policemen,
including the SHO of the Loni police station, and suspended nine
constables in connection with the alleged assault of a Dalit youth in
their area. Rishi (20) was allegedly beaten up on August 9 by a group
of men from Nithora village after their vehicles collided. Rishi was
taken to the police station and later died at a hospital. A police
officer said his family has alleged that the local police were in
connivance with the accused. Ghaziabad SSP Raghubir Lal said
preliminary investigations found the policemen had acted in a partisan
way. "A magisterial inquiry may be conducted," he added. Three of the
accused have been arrested while a search is on for the others.

[ZESTCaste] Move on caste census hailed

Move on caste census hailed

TNN, Aug 13, 2010, 06.45am IST

NAGPUR: Akhil Bharatiya Mahatma Phule Samata Parishad on Thursday
organised a small celebration at the RBI square here, welcoming the
decision of the group of ministers on caste-based enumeration.
Parishad's city president and NIT trusteeKishor Kanhere garlanded
Ambedkar's statue amid bursting of firecrackers and playing of band.

Speaking on the occasion, he said the Samata Partishad, under the
leadership of Chhagan Bhujbal, was fighting for the cause for the last
17 years. It had been demanding inclusion of caste in the national
census process. The demand was raised so that the other backward
classes (OBCs) which were denied their due as per their strength would
get a better deal. Kanhere said he had filed a petition in the Supreme
Court in the matter where a decision was pending. "The pressure on the
government finally worked. The announcement on the caste count is an
Independence day gift for millions of OBCs in the country," said
Kanhere.

The Samata Parishad has thanked Bhujbal, BJPgeneral secretaryGopinath
Munde , Janata Dal(U) leaderSharad Yadav and MP Sameer Bhujbal for
forcefully pleading the case for enumeration of OBCs. For last seven
decades no such exercise was done to find out the numbers of the OBCs.
As a result, the community was not getting proportionate share in
national planning process and welfare schemes and reservation in jobs
and elections, said Kanhere.

Frustrated over the indecision of the Union government on the caste
count, the Samata Parishad had threatened a huge protest rally at
Ramlila grounds in Delhi on August 23.

Despite major political parties extending support to the demand for
caste count, the UPA government had not been able to take a final
decision on it even as the census operations began early this year.
Now the government has decided to register the caste count separately
in December.

[ZESTCaste] HC moved for CBI probe into Uthapuram caste clash

http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/hc-moved-for-cbi-probe-into-uthapuram-caste-clash/227042.html

HC moved for CBI probe into Uthapuram caste clash
PTI
Madurai, Aug 12(PTI) Alleging harassment of Dalits by police, a
petition has been filed in Madras High Court Bench here for a CBI
investigation into cases registered against Dalits and Caste Hindus in
connection with the October 2008 caste clash in Uthapuram village in
the district. Petitioner, Rajammal, a resident of Uthapuram, submitted
local police officers were harassing the Dalits by misuing the
contents of one of the First Information Reports, which stated that
around 300 Dalits were involved in the 2008 violence and clash. She
demanded a direction to the CBI to take action against the erring
police officers under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes
(Prevention of Atrocities Act). The petitioner also prayed for a
direction to the Home Secretary to implement rule 13 of SC/ST rules
that envisaged that police officers posted in such areas had the right
aptitude and understanding of the problems faced by Dalits. She sought
an interim direction to the Police not to take any further proceedings
such as arresting the Dalits. She prayed for the transfer of the
Madurai Superintendent of Police and Inspector of Ezhumalai police
station,exercising jurisdiction over Uthapuram. Claiming that she
played a lead role in rescuing the Dalits against the police, she said
she feared that she would be victimised. Caste Hindus and Dalits of
the village clashed on October 1 over painting the wall of a local
temple, leading to a police lathicharge.
