The victim, Panaram s/o Tajaram Meghwal, resident of Raneti Tehsil Baap, district Jodhpur, gave a written complaint to the Nachana police station in Jaisalmer district on Wednesday last and said that he along with his nephew Dinaram s/o Bhomaram Meghwal had come to Tanotrai in Didhu between 5 to 5.30 pm on April 5. Had come to visit the temple of the goddess.
After offering offerings to the deity in the temple, the applicant Tanaram along with his nephew Dinaram Meghwal was going on a motorcycle to his maternal uncle’s place in Didhu’s Ek Dhani. During this, Tanerai Singh son of Arjun Singh resident of Bardana, Bhomsingh son of Khet Singh, Samdar Singh son of Kansingh, Hukam Singh son of Bherusingh resident of Didhu Thana Nachana came to Jaisalmer riding on two motorcycles from behind. The accused hurled caste-related slurs. The helmet hit his head and ear. Can’t hear it. During this, Ramnaram, son of Lachhamram, son of Ganapatram, Roopram, son of Sangaram, seeing the accused fighting there, saved them by holding the feet of the accused and folding hands, but these people did not agree.
“During this time, Jalam Singh’s son Kansingh came and said that if you complain in the police station or tell anyone in the village, your relatives living here will burn their houses. Remove Bhim written on your motorcycle. If you come to this village again, you will not be alive. Abusing the caste indicator said that we keep such a person in place of a shoe,” the victim said.
Nachna Police Incharge Ajit Singh told The Mooknayak that a report to this effect was filed late last night. The Circle Officer is investigating the case. Today is on duty for Hanuman Jayanti. Soon the investigation will be completed and the accused will be arrested.
