Members of a dalit organisation protested near Vidhana Soudha on
Monday morning by pouring drainage sludge on themselves. Annaiah,
Ravi, Rafiq and Abhi were taken into custody. Later, the
organization's members met police commissionerShankar Bidari and
submitted a memorandum.

The organization claimed the government had sanctioned 47.9 acres to
dalits of Ambedkar Nagar in Pattana Agrahara. However, 3 acres, 20
guntas were withdrawn recently. Though the government promised to use
it for a local police station and panchayat building, it was leased to
a private builder to construct a commercial complex, they alleged.
