Several members of the Dalit community staged a road blockade after alleging that upper caste men stopped them from performing the last rites of a Dalit youth on government land in a village in Madhya Pradesh’s Sheopur district.
Initial investigation indicated that a dispute over the grazing of cattle on an agricultural field led to violent clashes between members of the Pal and Dangi communities in village Reda in the Datia district.
The trio strangled the victim, smashed his head with a boulder and also slit his throat with a knife.
