Bharatpur, Feb 17 (IANS) Authorities Thursday deployed the Special
Task Force (STF) in a village in Bharatpur district, a day after homes
of Dalit families were stoned in a clash between two communities.

Two communities were locked in a land dispute in Chandpura village for
years. After a goat strayed into the farm of another community member
Wednesday, violence erupted.

'Members of one community stoned the houses of Dalit families for two
hours in which a dozen people sustained injuries,' a police officer
said.

Many Dalit families have fled from the village over the past two days,
informed sources said. The stone pelting happened in the presence of
some police and civil officers, the sources alleged.

'STF personnel have been deputed in the village. The situation is
still tense but under control,' the officer said.

[ZESTCaste] Facebook Blocks Ambedkar Hate Page

http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Facebook_Blocks_Ambedkar_Hate_Page/551-114524-643.html

Facebook Blocks Ambedkar Hate Page
Facebook Blocks Ambedkar Hate Page
Nachiket Mhatre, Feb 17, 2011 1206 hrs IST
Cops hot on the trail of page creator; seek his IP address from Facebook

It isn't uncommon for trolls to stir up controversy by riling the
easily irascible, and borderline fascist supporters of any famous
political and/or historical figure. It gets them instant reaction and,
let s not forget, lulz that just keeps on giving. More often than not,
it leads to grave consequences, and the same happened when someone
created a hate page eloquently dubbed "I Hate Ambedkar" on Facbook.
This led to rioting in Khar area of Mumbai, which should be the first
time such a thing has resulted in violence in the real world.

The Mumbai Police has finally managed to get Facebook to remove the
page, as Himanshu Roy, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) explains,
"Facebook has blocked the link following our request. Now, the culprit
will be traced and brought to book." Commissioner Roy is dead serious
about bringing the perpetrator to book, as the police is working hard
on obtaining the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the perpetrator
from Facebook. Roy claims that Facebook is busy fetching the culprit's
IP address from its servers and will share the information with the
Mumbai Police soon.

Facebook was reluctant to divulge information to the cops, until it
was furnished with a court order, which the Mumbai Police was prompt
to obtain. After getting the link blocked, the police is now awaiting
more information about the perpetrator from Facebook, who will now be
in a world of hurt if he/she didn't cover their tracks like a pro.

[ZESTCaste] Delhi, Haryana asked to give Mirchpur witnesses security

http://www.sify.com/news/delhi-haryana-asked-to-give-mirchpur-witnesses-security-news-national-lcpu4khfbhj.html

Delhi, Haryana asked to give Mirchpur witnesses security
2011-02-15 20:30:00

New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Tuesday asked the Delhi
and Haryana governments to provide security and travel facilities to
the witnesses of the Mirchpur violence case till their testimonies are
recorded.

The court also asked the principal secretaries of the two states' home
departments to hold discussions Feb 17 on providing comfort to the
witnesses while they are on their way to record their statements.

Justice Hima Kohli, in an order, made it clear that in case the senior
officers fail to comply with the court's direction, they would have to
appear in person to explain the reasons for delay before the Delhi
district court Feb 19.

Justice Kohli, hearing a petition of the Delhi government for
permission to provide security to the witnesses in the capital, said:
'Both the governments should sit together and chart out a plan on
security of the witnesses who have to appear before a Delhi court to
record statements.'

The court imposed a restraint on the appearance of the Delhi principal
secretary or secretary of the home department before the city court
Feb 17 in the Mirchpur riots case.

City court Special Judge (Scheduled Castes-Scheduled Tribes Act)
Kamini Lau earlier had asked either of them to appear before it Feb 17
in the case.

The city court had earlier ordered for deployment of the Central
Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Mirchpur village, preferably around the
Balmiki Basti where the violence and killing occurred, and that they
should continue till the witnesses are examined.

The Supreme Court had earlier directed that the Mirchpur violence case
be transferred to the special court here from a Haryana court to
ensure a free and fair trial.

Following this, 97 accused were transferred to Tihar from a Hissar
district jail.

Of the 103 accused, five are juveniles and one has been freed on bail.

A Dalit man and his physically-challenged daughter were burnt alive
April 21, 2010, in arson and violence against the community allegedly
by a mob of over 100 upper caste people, forcing about 150 families to
flee Mirchpur village in Hissar district.

Jat agitators later launched an agitation against the arrest of 98
people from their community allegedly involved in the riots and arson,
blocking trains in Hissar district.
