An FIR has been filed under Section 326 of the IPC (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means). The boy was attacked with a blade by two men on a bike who had their faces covered, said media reports.
The victim is the cousin of a Dalit youth, who was allegedly beaten by men for ‘sporting a moustache’ last week. The attackers allegedly belonged to the upper caste ‘who said Dalits cannot sport moustaches’.
On Monday, eight people were arrested for allegedly killing a 21-year-old Dalit man for attending a garba event in Gujarat.
Recently, two Dalit men of a village near Gandhinagar were allegedly thrashed by members of the Rajput community for ‘sporting a moustache’ in two separate incidents, on September 25 and 29.
The state had witnessed massive protests in July last year over the brutal thrashing of four Dalit men at a village in Una town.
