Dalit drummer killed at wedding

Lucknow, Dec 4 (IANS) A 26-year-old Dalit was killed in an Uttar
Pradesh marriage function for not beating the drum as desired by a
group of villagers, police said Friday.
The villagers directed Ram Prakash Saanwle to produce louder drumbeats
Thursday at Yaseen Nagar village in Etawah district, some 300 km from
Lucknow.

"When Saanwle told the villagers that he was beating the drum with
maximum force, the villagers got irked and started assaulting him with
wooden sticks. Later, they opened fire at Saanwle," police inspector
Samresh Kumar told reporters.

"Though members of the band managed to take Saanwle to a hospital, he
succumbed to his injuries. We have arrested one person," he added.
