TNN, Jun 28, 2010, 05.52am IST
JAIPUR: A Dalit groom and his relatives were allegedly manhandled by
youths of Rajput community when the groom tried to enter a Shiva
temple in Basna village under Bansur police station of Alwar district.
At least, 12 persons were injured in the clash.
Later, the marriage procession was escorted by police. Bansur Police
have registered a case and have started investigation.
According to reports, Mohan Lal, accompanied by freinds and relatives,
was on his way Badagaon village for his marriage. Trouble started when
Mohan Lal wanted to visit a Shiva temple. When the procession reached
Shiva temple, a group of people from Rajput community tried to stop
them. This infuriated the Dalits and they clashed.
SP Alok Vashisht told TOI that the situation was controlled and the
injured were taken to hospital. The marriage procession was escorted
to the venue and a case was registered later. Police said that four
persons, including two women were hurt.
District collector KL Meena said additional police force has been
deployed in the area and senior administrative officials and policemen
are camping in the village.
Gopalji of Dalit Adhikar Samiti said eight persons, including the
groom were injured. "The samiti would agitate if no action is taken
against the guilty. Even after decades of Independence, Dalits are not
allowed to enter temples," he added.
