Dalit sisters' murder: Caste killing or revenge?

Moradabad: The streets of Moradabad in Western UP are on the boil,
after two Dalit sisters, Geeta and Monu were allegedly burnt alive on
Sunday.
"We demand the arrest of those behind the killings," said Om Lal
Valmiki, a local Dalit leader.
While the community is up in arms, calling it caste killings, the
police, off camera, say it is possible a case of revenge killing.
Police say, earlier this month, trader Pankaj Gagneja's wife and child
were murdered. He suspected the sweeper, Rakesh, who is Geeta and
Monu's brother, who is since then on the run.
Now as the girls are murdered, the needle of suspicion points to
Pankaj, who has been booked along with seven other suspects under the
Dalit Atrocities Act.
That, however, may not be enough to soothe a community, enraged by the
deaths of two young lives.
