Dalit girl, father killed as mob sets houses afire

Special Correspondent


CHANDIGARH: A "physically challenged" Dalit girl, Suman, 18, and her
70-year-old father, Tara Chand, were killed as a mob set afire over 15
houses belonging to members of the Dalit community in Mirchpur village
of Haryana's Hisar district on Wednesday.

The Inspector-General of Police (Hisar Range), the Deputy Commissioner
and the Superintendent of Police (Hisar) were camping in the village.
Tara Chand, who sustained 90 per cent burns, died at the Civil
Hospital in Hisar.

According to reports reaching the State headquarters here, there was a
"dispute'' between boys belonging to the Jat community and the Dalits
two days ago over some "trivial'' issue.

The community leaders assembled on Wednesday to resolve the issue.
However, the "conflict'' aggravated and members of the two communities
hurled stones at each other.
