Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh Congress Scheduled Caste Department State President Pradeep Ahirwar on Thursday gheraoed the office of Inspector General of Police in Rewa and protested against the atrocities being committed on Dalits in the state and demanded the arrest of the accused of raping a Dalit woman in Rewa district.

He said, “In Sidhi district, a tribal person’s face was urinated upon, in Singrauli, he was shot by a BJP leader and killed by running a tractor over him.
