Koppala: Five arrested for imposing fine on Dalit family after their 2-year-old kid enters temple
Koppala (Kushtagi): In an incident that occurred in the Taluk’s Miyapur village, in the wake of a Dalit boy’s entry into a temple, and the villagers’ imposition of fine and temple purification ceremony, a pro-Dalit organization registered an FIR, which reportedly led to the arrest of five of the accused.
Reportedly, an innocent 2-year-old Dalit child had ventured inside the temple because of which the child’s parents were fined and asked to cover the expenses of the temple purification ceremony by some of the temple’s leaders. A pro-Dalit organization has cited the treatment of the family as inhuman and registered a case against the discriminatory practice.
“Such practice of untouchability is a criminal offense that warrants punishment under the law. Having learned that such an evil practice has been observed in the district, we will be taking strict action against the perpetrators according to the law”, DYSP Rudresh Ujjanakoppa informed.
