This day was Friday. When the accused Dashrath’s son Prahlad Singh Rajput thrashed Parulal and his son Suman fiercely with sticks.
When father Parulal and son Suman were taken to Udaipur hospital due to physical damage in the fight. Then there the doctor declared Suman dead. On the other hand, Parulal’s condition has become critical.
In this situation, after the incident, Bhim Army, Azad Samaj Party and JAYS (Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti) protested fiercely by keeping the dead body of Sumanbhil in Mandsaur (Gandhi Chauraha) on 3rd January. This protest took the form of public outrage.
People raised slogans like “Suman, we are ashamed, your murderers are alive, stop tribal oppression, hang Sumanbhil’s killers, hang them, Shivraj, BJP government down, down!”
Regarding the incident, The Mooknayak spoke to the family of the deceased, “Dashrath Singh Rajput molested Parulal’s daughter-in-law and Suman’s wife earlier. We had a rivalry with them. In such a situation, the son of our family was killed. We demand that the accused be hanged.” On asking the family what action was taken by the police administration regarding the incident? The family members said, “The police administration, while taking legal action, has registered a case under the ACT/SC Act and Section 307, among other sections.”
Prem Suryavanshi, the district president of the Azad Samaj Party, who was involved in the protest against the incident, tells The Mooknayak that, “Dashrath Singh Rajput is such a person. The whole village is upset because of him.”
He further adds, “After the death of Sumanbhil, both the District Collector and the SP came in the protest we gathered together. We have seen how the house of a Muslim accused of an incident was demolished. If the accused in this incident was a Muslim, then his house would have been demolished by now. On this basis, we (Bhim Army and Azad Samaj Party) approached the Collector demanded that the house of the accused be demolished.”
On the question of The Mooknayak whether it is justified to break the house of any community? Prem says, “There is no provision in the constitution to demolish houses.

Police has taken effective action. The accused has been arrested. The family of the deceased Assistance amount is to be received. We will take immediate action for self-employment to the family member. The house of the accused will be investigated. If illegal or encroachment is found, then we will demolish that house.”
