Bengaluru: Unidentified miscreants torched four-five huts of Dalits in the Thattehalli village of Belur taluk in Hassan district.

There are about 80 Dalit families in this village and about 50 families in an acre and eight guntas of land live in trouble. They are living with cattle farming and sheep farming. As the area was not enough, 4-5 Dalit families had built huts in a 30-acre and 38 guntas of government land on Survey No. 51.

It is alleged that Surveyors Karthik and Rudranna have set the huts on fire.

The victims have urged that Dalit leaders should visit Thattehalli village and fight for the justice of Dalit families.
