Awarded sarpanch terrorises dalits

Jaipur: Once awarded by the prime minister of India with gram sabha
purushkar, the sarpanch of Thana gram panchayat in Bhilwara district,
Shiv Lal Gujjar is now the face of terror for two dalit families in
the village.
Gujjar has reportedly threatened Ganesh Lal and Dalu Lal (siblings) to
hand over their share of land at Badi Ka Badiya village to local goons
within three days or their families will be thrown out of the village.
Not just this, the five daughters of the duo have not gone to school
for over a week now after they were harassed and deprived of free
meals by the school authorities reportedly on Gujjar's behest.
Lal brothers, who were landless farmers, were allotted around 5-bigha
of land under Thana gram panchayat of Mandal tehsil by the government
over two decade back.
However, a few years back, local musclemen Deva Gujjar and Paras
Gujjar illegally occupied the land and started construction on it.
When all efforts to get their land back failed, the dalit families met
superintendent of police on September 28 and sought his intervention
in the case but all in vain.
The brothers got biggest shock when they approached sarpanch Shiv Lal
Gujjar for help. "The sarpanch first advised us to stay away from land
dispute and hand over the land to illegal occupants. When we refused
to give away our share of land, Shiv Lal Gujjar threatened to make our
life a hell," they said.
In police complaint, Lal brothers have alleged that sarpanch, who was
once appreciated at the national level for his contribution to the
village, has now joined hands with criminals.
