As usual, on Sunday, 18/02/2024, at around 4 o’clock, Belpatri was selling flowers in front of the temple. The victim alleges that a man named Shankar and 4 other people from the temple abused the woman and assaulted her with rude behavior on the road, you are a low caste cobbler, abuses etc., you cannot sell flowers in front of the temple.
There was a beating, a complaint about which was lodged in the Kotwali police station, but a case was not registered under the Atrocity Act. Due to which the officials of all social organizations reached Kotwali police station and helped the victim. This incident is very condemnable. Injustice and atrocities on Dalit tribals in the district and state are increasing day by day in the name of caste. To stop them, the state government and the district administration are not able to take any concrete steps so that such incidents can be stopped.
If the victim’s family does not get justice, there will be a fierce agitation by all the organizations against the district administration. Whose entire responsibility will be of the government administration. In which mainly people from organizations like Devrao Ravana Bhalavi, Shivam Pahade, Prahlad Kushre, Lodhi Vipin Verma, Rajkumar Khadse, Pappu Gonekar, Shiv Mandrah, Dinesh Ivanati, Kishore Vanshkar, Paras Vanshkar, Manish Mridulkar, Arif Khan etc. were present.
