Hindu family brutally thrashes Dalit boy in Rajasthan for touching Water Pot
Jaipur: An eight-year-old Dalit boy was brutally beaten and hung upside down by members of an upper-caste Hindu family in Rajasthan state.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident took place in Bhakharpura village of Barmer district after the boy allegedly touched a drinking water pot.
According to the boy’s mother, Puri Devi, the child was asked by Narnaram Prajapat and Demaram Prajapat to clean a bathroom and collect garbage. After completing the work, he requested water and touched their pot, which allegedly triggered the attack.
The two accused dragged the boy to a house, hung him upside down from a tree, and continued beating him. The assault was reportedly stopped only after a relative of the boy began filming the incident on his mobile phone. Shortly afterward, the accused stormed into the boy’s house and attacked his mother and grandmother, according to media reports.
“They took him to Narnaram’s house, tied him upside down to a tree, and kept beating him,” media reports quoted Puri Devi as saying. She further alleged that when she and her mother-in-law tried to intervene, the accused barged into their house and assaulted them as well.
Circle Officer Sukhram Bishnoi confirmed the violence.
