[ad_1]
Gurugram: Four men allegedly thrashed a 33-year-old Dalit in Ghoshgarh village in Bilaspur area so severely over Rs 3,000 that he died the next day, police said on Thursday.
The accused beat the victim with sticks on Tuesday night and left him outside his house. He died Wednesday night during treatment.
According to the police, the victim, Inder Kumar ran a grocery shop from his house in Ghoshgarh.
Around four days ago, one Sagar Yadav, a man from his village, had lent him Rs 19,000 to pay the electricity bill.
Police said that Inder spent Rs 3,000 out of Rs 19,000 and failed to the pay the bill.
According to the complaint filed by Deepchand, the father of the victim, on Monday, Sagar came to their home and took the remaining Rs 16,000 and gave Inder an ultimatum to return the rest as soon as possible.
“On Tuesday evening, Sagar called my son near the village temple. At around 7.30 pm Sagar called me on phone and said that Inder has promised to return the money by tomorrow, and if he does not give it by then, I will have to give him the money,” Deepchand, according to the police, said in his complaint.
“I agreed, but an hour later, Sagar and three others with him, left my son outside my house moaning in pain. My son told me that Sagar, Azad, Mukesh, and Hitesh of the village beat him with sticks.

“We took him to a hospital in Pataudi for treatment from where he was referred to civil hospital, Gurugram, where he succumbed late Wednesday night,” he added.
Following the complaint, an FIR was registered Thursday morning against Sagar, Azad, Mukesh, and Hitesh under sections 302 (murder) of the ICP and SC/ST Act at Bilaspur Police Station.
“We handed over the body to kin after the post mortem. The accused are absconding but our team is conducting raids to nab them and they will be arrested soon,” said Inspector Rahul Dev, SHO, Bilaspur Police Station.

Andhra government committed to Dalit welfare: Adimulapu Suresh

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh minister for municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) Adimulapu Suresh said that the state government is committed to the upliftment of Dalits and the implementation of various welfare schemes to improve their living standards.
Addressing the media here on Wednesday, he said that the state government’s commitment in this regard was proved by the extension of the SC and ST sub-plan for another ten years.
Rubbishing the comments published by a section of media, he said that yellow media is spreading false propaganda on the extension of the SC and ST sub-plan to protect the vested interests of TDP (Telugu Desam Party) and creating confusion among the castes.
He also recalled that it was the TDP chief who made derogatory comments like “Who would wish to be born in the SC community? What justice will he do for the Dalits?”, he asked.
“The YSRCP government is spending around 25 percent of funds for Dalits in every scheme,” he said.
Drawing a parallel between the previous TDP regime and the YSRCP, Suresh explained that TDP spent Rs 33,625 crore for SCs between 2014 to 2019.
“In the last three and a half years, the YSRCP has spent Rs 48,899 crore for SC welfare, which means Rs 15,274 crore (45.4 percent) was additionally spent,” remarked Suresh.
“For STs, TDP has spent Rs 12,487 crore during its five-year tenure, while YSRCP has spent Rs 15,589 crore (25 percent), which means Rs 3,101 crore additionally spent for ST’s welfare,” he said.

“The YSRCP government is ready to face any kind of auditing or scrutiny on the facts relating to the welfare of Dalits,” he said and rubbished the remarks of vernacular media of Rs 20,000 crore cut imposed by the government during its three-and-a-half years rule.
Reacting to Pawan Kalyan’s meeting on the sub-plan, he said, “Jana Sena Chief was acting according to the script given by Chandra Babu Naidu and should know the facts and figures before making further remarks.”

2015 Dalit youth murder: Madras HC judges inspect crime spot, rail track

[ad_1]
Chennai: Madras High Court judges Justice M.S. Ramesh and Justice Anand Venkatesh inspected the Tiruchengode Arthanareeswar temple and the rail track in Tamil Nadu’s Namakkal district where the body of Dalit youth Gokul Raj, abducted and murdered in 2015 for going around with an upper class girl, was found.
Gokul Raj was murdered by a gang headed by S. Yuvaraj, a self-proclaimed youth leader of a dominant caste outfit, for visiting the Tiruchengode temple along with a girl, Swathi, who belonged to an upper caste.
The Dalit youth was abducted by the members of the caste outfit and later his body was found with his head severed on the rail track near Pallipalayam in Namakkal.
Gokul Raj was in love with Swathi and had visited Tiruchendur temple along with her. Now, Swathi has turned into a hostile witness in the case and is facing perjury.
A special court for cases under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in Madurai had sentenced Yuvaraj and ten others to life imprisonment while acquitting five others.
Gokul Raj’s mother Chithra, however, had moved the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court seeking capital punishment for Yuvaraj and others and against the acquittal of five others.
Justices Ramesh and Venkatesh decided to conduct an inspection of the crime scene to understand the topography of the area as also the exit and entrance gates as well as the CCTVs’ location in the temple.
The judges inspected the area on Sunday and inspected all eight CCTV cameras as well as all entrances and exits.

After the temple premises, the judges inspected the rail track at Pallipalayam where the body of Gokul Raj with his head severed was found.
Lawyers and family members of both Gokul Raj and Yuvaraj were present but they were not allowed to meet the judges.
