Mandya: In an incident reported from Mandya district, a Dalit man was recently paraded with his hands tied with a rope to one end and the other end of the rope to a cow over a conflict. The victim has lodged a complaint in this regard against four people accusing them of assault and insulting him.
The victim Suresh Vardhan HS of Hanakola has named Raju of Dugganahalli, Girish and Rezar Mallaiah of Malvalli town, and Sundaramma of Hanakola in his complaint. The cops have reportedly booked the four under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The accused however are absconding ever since the incident went viral through a video of social media platforms.
According to the reports, the main accused Raju sold cows to Raju for Rs. 58,000 claiming that they will produce 15 liters of milk each. When Suresh bought the cows, he realized one of the cows could not produce any milk while the other produced three liters milk.
When Suresh brought the issue to the notice of Raju, the latter called him to Dugganahalli promising to give him another cow.
According to the police, when Suresh reached Raju’s house he was not at home. One of Raju’s friends asked Suresh to take one of Raju’s cows and go. When he untied one of the cows, Raju appeared and accused him of stealing. He allegedly assaulted and badmouthed him. Raju used the rope used to tie the cow to tie Suresh’s hands and paraded him half-undressed in front of his friends.
