Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 13th April, 2019) A Dalit labourer was allegedly forced to eat human excreta in Mulshi taluka in Pune on March 13.
The incident took place after the labourer got into an argument with the owner of the brick kiln where he worked.
The labourer, Sunil Anil Pawale, aged 22, who is from the scheduled Caste Matang community, had filed a police complaint against the owner of the brick kiln, Sandeep Pawar (42), his wife and brother-in-law.
The accused, who belong to an upper caste Maratha community, were arrested by Pimpri-Chinchwad Police and booked under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. But all three accused were released on bail days later.
To protest their release, social organisations led by Dr Baba Adhav on Friday submitted a memorandum to Pune District Collector Naval Kishore Ram. The activist said he wanted to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi if this was not the case of ‘Hindu terrorism’.
Police have now initiated procedure to challenge the bail granted to Pawar in the Bombay High Court.
