A Dalit youth was assaulted and robbed in the Bangarmau police station area of Unnao. 36,000 rupees were allegedly snatched from him and he was subjected to casteist slurs. The victim has filed a police complaint.
A young man, son of Mishrilal, was carrying 36,000 rupees from his village to deliver to a man named Lattu in another village. On the way, two village boys stopped him. They began abusing and beating him. One of the accused held Ajay down, while the other was beating him.
The men hurled casteist slurs at Ajay and said, “We will beat you wherever we find you.” During the assault, the accused also snatched 36,000 rupees from Ajay. Ajay comes from a poor family and was using this money to redeem his mortgaged land.
After the incident, Ajay informed the family members of the bullies, but they threatened him. Ajay then filed a petition at the Moradabad police station. However, two days later, no action has been taken in the matter. Ajay is also being pressured to reach a settlement.
The victim, Ajay, has stated that 36,000 rupees have been snatched from him. “How can I make restitution?” Ajay demands that his 36,000 rupees be returned and that he be given a written assurance that such an incident will not happen to him in the future. The Bangarmau police station in-charge stated that the matter is under his notice and that he will investigate and take appropriate action.
