Dalit set afire over phone
Deepender Deswal, TNN, Jun 19, 2010, 05.08am IST
JHAJJAR: A dalit youth was set ablaze by a group of five people, said
to be from the upper caste, after a fight over a missing cell phone in
Gwalison village of Jhajjar district on Wednesday night, outside the
venue of a folk song.
The victim, Sandeep Kumar, has been admitted to PGIMS at Rohtak with
serious burns. A case of attempt to murder was registered at Beri
police station.
The victim told police that Debi Singh came up to him and accused him
of stealing his cell phone. When he denied this, Singh got into an
argument. Soon, he was joined by four other youths who began abusing
him.
However, when he stuck to his stand, one of the group, emptied a
petrol can on him and set him afire. SSP, Jhajjar, Saurabh Singh said
there appeared to be no caste angle, but a DSP has been asked to probe
the matter.
