Print Dalit man dies after being beaten by hotelier, his staffer; Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani seeks arrest of ‘casteist goons’
A Dalit man died after being allegedly thrashed by a hotel owner belonging to an upper caste community and his accomplice following an argument, during which they also hurled casteist slurs at the victim in Gujarat’s Mahisagar district, police said on June 10.
The victim, Raju Vankar (45), died while undergoing treatment at a government hospital in Vadodara city on June 9, two days after being thrashed by the hotel owner and his counter manager, an official of Bakor police station said.
Dalit leader and Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani demanded immediate arrest of the accused, whom he called “casteist goons” and warned of a protest.
The family of the victim and members of his community will hold a protest demanding immediate arrest of the perpetrators, the legislator said, adding that the body of the deceased will not be accepted unless the accused duo is held.
As per the FIR, Vankar, an autorickshaw driver, went to the hotel to have dinner on June 7. After the meal, he also asked the hotel staff to pack food for him to carry home.
However, when he raised an objection before the hotel owner regarding the quantity of the food packed for him saying that it less than what he paid for, the two accused started arguing with him and hurled casteist abuses at him. The accused also thrashed him, the police said.
A case was registered against the two accused under various sections the Indian Penal Code as well as relevant provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
