Morena: Four booked for calling dog 'untouchable'

Press Trust of India, Updated: September 26, 2010 18:41 IST

Morena (Madhya Pradesh): In a bizarre incident, three brothers have
been booked along with their neighbour for calling their dog
"untouchable" after it ate food given by a Dalit woman in Morena's
Malikpura area last week.

"Three brothers Amrit Singh Yadav, Naresh, and Ramveer and their
neighbour Lallu Singh - all members of the OBC - have been booked
under relevant sections of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe
(Prevention of Atrocities) Act last night," SC/ST Police Station
deputy Superintendent of Police, Baldev Singh said.

The accused had allegedly declared their pet "untouchable" and
demanded Rs. 15,000 as compensation from Sunita Jatav after it ate
bread given by the Dalit woman, police said.

The accused also dumped the dog at Sunita's place.

The matter came to light on September 21 when Sunita took the dog to a
public hearing and narrated her ordeal to top police officers.

The accused, while denying the allegations, claimed that they had
given the dog to the woman as it fell ill after eating food given by
her.
