Dalit killed for demanding wages
Indo-Asian News Service
Bhopal, May 30, 2010
A Dalit in a Madhya Pradesh village only wanted payment of wages due
to him -- but what he got was death. Mason Ramesh Jatav was allegedly
killed after he demanded Rs 4, 000 for the work he had done for farmer
Shriram Lodhi, police on Sunday said.
Thirty-eight-year-old Jatav was killed in Shivpuri district on Friday
night when he had gone to Shriram's house with his wife to demand
back-wages.
According to police, Shriram and his relative Gabdu Lodhi took the
couple to a nearby field and killed Jatav, a resident of Sirsona
village, about 350 km from Bhopal.
"The two smashed Jatav's head with a huge stone," a police officer said.
Jatav's wife fled from the spot and lodged a complaint with the Karera
police station. By the time police reached the spot, Jatav had
succumbed to his injuries.
The police officer said Shriram and Gabdu were absconding.
