In one more incident of caste atrocity, three aged Dalit men had been forced to prostrate earlier than the members of a village panchayat and apologise following a quarrel between two teams over organising a music operate within the village.
Though the incident came about on Wednesday, it got here to gentle solely after a video of the incident went viral on social media platforms.
Police stated members of the Dalit colony in Ottanandhal Panchayat close to Thiruvennainallur had organised a music operate just lately. Caste Hindus from the village had lodged a grievance towards them with the native police for organising the occasion throughout the pandemic.
A police officer stated {that a} crew from Thiruvennainallur police station warned the organisers and seized the tools together with mikes and audio system. The police later returned the tools. Subsequently, a gaggle from the colony reportedly questioned a youth from the village for lodging a police grievance over the occasion. This led to an altercation between the 2 teams.
Inquiry by the police revealed that although the problem was initially resolved, it was later escalated after the panchayat determined to resolve the problem by itself. The panchayat made three Dalit elders from the colony to prostrate earlier than them and apologise for the sequence of occasions.
Superintendent of Police S. Radhakrishnan stated {that a} crew had been deputed to the village to determine the men (chargeable for the atrocity) and arrest them. A case has been booked towards them under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, he stated.
