Chamrajnagar: FIR filed against 17 for alleged caste abuse, death threats
Chamrajnagar: An FIR has been registered against 17 individuals for allegedly creating unrest during a peace meeting, issuing death threats, and using caste-based slurs in Veeranapura village of Gundlupet taluk, Chamrajnagar district.
According to a complaint filed by Shivakumar, a resident of Veeranapura, the accused threatened him and hurled caste insults after he questioned the denial of temple entry to Dalits at the local Veerabhadreshwara, Siddappaji, and Maramma temples. The complaint also alleged irregularities in the use of temple property, which, according to the complainant, was being controlled by members of a single community.
Following the registration of the case under provisions related to caste abuse and criminal intimidation, several villagers staged a protest outside the Chamrajnagar Town Police Station. They claimed that the complaint was false and threatened to lay siege to the office of the district police superintendent if justice was not served.
Police officials have initiated discussions with the villagers to restore peace in the area.
