Uttar Pradesh. A case of brutal beating of Dalit children playing outside a temple in Mainpuri district has come to light. It is alleged that Dalit children playing outside the temple were beaten up citing the desecration of the temple. The incident is said to be from Daudapur village of Bewar police station.

According to the police, the incident is old. An FIR was registered in the case on August 26, but no accused was arrested.

Posting the photo of the incident on social media, Nagina Lok Sabha MP and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) national president Chandrashekhar Azad wrote, “In the so-called Ram Rajya of Uttar Pradesh, the temple of the ‘feudal lords’ was desecrated by three Dalit children playing outside the temple. Angered by this, two religious contractors not only held the three children hostage and beat them, but also abused the elderly and women of the house with caste-specific abuses.” He further wrote, “Look at the condition of the casteist system, an FIR was registered on August 26 for the incident, but the police have not yet dared to arrest the accused feudal lords. The victim Sunny Pratap Jatav says that there is an atmosphere of fear in the family due to the non-arrest of the accused, the local BJP MLA and people from the ruling party are pressurizing for a compromise. @myogiadityanath ji, the lack of action in such incidents clearly smacks of casteism.” MP Chandrashekhar Azad warned that, “If the named accused are not arrested soon, then the workers of Azad Samaj Party will be forced to take to the streets.”

While, on the incident, Mainpuri Police informed through its official X handle that, “In this case, a case has already been registered against 02 named accused under relevant sections at the local police station, in which evidence collection and investigative action is in process, further legal action is being taken after investigation, other allegations of intimidation are baseless.”
