Dalit assaulted, panel sends notice to DGP

New Delhi, July 10

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes on Saturday issued a notice to Uttar Pradesh DGP and Chief Secretary in an incident involving extreme atrocity on a Dalit and sought an action taken report immediately.

The commission took cognisance of the alleged crime involving insertion of an object into private parts of a Dalit in Sarwan Kheda pocket of Kanpur Dehat and sought the state police and administration to explain the lapse.

“It is a shameless, brutal, inhuman and unpardonable act,” said Vijay Sampla, chairman of the commission.— TNS
