BHOPAL: A dalit was killed and two others were seriously injured as
upper caste Thakurs attacked them in a village in Bhind district in
northern Madhya Pradesh. No arrests have been made so far and the
incident has created panic among dalits in the village.
The incident took place in Kirat village in the wee hours of Wednesday
when a group of upper caste Thakurs comprising Pinku Tomar and Rama
Shanker Bhadoria among others barged into the house of dalits. The
police said that Bhogiram Vidharam and Manu Jatav were beaten black
and blue by the accused for the reasons 'still under investigations.'

They are too scared to provide any clue to the incident, the police
said adding as they fear backlash from the Thakurs. Caste
discrimination is not only prevalent but also rampant in this part of
the state which has been dominated by the Thakurs for a long time in
the past, police said. Bhind is located on the banks of river Chambal
and is ravage by the ravines. There was a time when it was infested by
dacoits also.
