Dalit beaten to death for defying diktat

STAFF WRITER 15:55 HRS IST
Ballia (UP), Jun 6 (PTI) A dalit youth was beaten to death allegedly
by some villagers after he attended a wedding function, defying a
diktat, police said here today.

A group of villagers barged into the house of Dhirendra Kumar at
Panchhua village late last night and attacked him.

When he resisted, they beat him to death, Deputy Superintendent of
Police Deshraj Singh said.

He said Dhirendra's family was "socially boycotted" by the villagers
some years back. However, when he went to attend a marriage function
last night, he was attacked in order to teach a lesson.

Meanwhile, some persons have lodged a complaint alleging that the
attack was in retaliation to the rape of a 15-year-old girl by
Dhirendra and his two associates.
