DAILEKH: An elderly man here poured hot tea over a Dalit youth for
touching the glass of tea he was drinking.

Magisara Thapa, 62, of Silangi village in Bhairikalikathum VDC-1 of
Dailekh poured the tea on to the face of Damber BK, 27, of the same
locality.

The incident took place on Sunday when Damber entered a hotel along
with some friends for tea. He happened to sit on the same bench that
Magisara was sitting and sipping tea. All of a sudden, Magisara
splashed the hot tea on to the face of Damber for allegedly touching
the glass of tea, local witness Harka Bahadur BK said.

Meanwhile, the Dalit Advocacy Network, Dailekh has expressed serious
concern over the incident describing it 'immoral' and violation of
human rights.

The Network will exert pressure on the local authorities to take
action against Magisara, President of the Network, Surya Bahadur BK
said.
