upper castes have always been abusing the lower caste. even in the in the name of 'justice' in this case, where policemen allegedly poured petrol on a Dalit farmer’s body and burnt his private parts after torturing him continuously for three days inside the Ram Sanehi Ghat police station.
Goli, 50, suspected in a dacoity case, is undergoing treatment at the district hospital for serious burns on shoulders, abdomen and lower part of his body.
Although the police have denied the incident, a probe has been ordered.
Narrating the incident to The Hindustan Times, the victim’s wife, Seema, said, “On August 27, around eight to ten policemen came to our house in Mahow village and took away Goli on charges of dacoity in a neighbouring village.”
“Goli was then tortured for four days in the lock-up. On the night of August 30, two cops jabbed a wooden stick covered with a piece of cloth soaked in petrol into his private parts.”
The torture did not end there. “Soon after, the policemen poured petrol over the lower part of his body and burnt his private parts,” Seema said in a choked voice.
Goli, who belongs to the Pasi community, then fainted. When he regained consciousness, Goli was forced to admit his involvement in the dacoity case.
Later in the night when his condition deteriorated, the police brought him to the Barabanki district hospital.
clearly in this case, even the policemen, who are supposed to maintain law and order in the region, has abused their power. this would result in frustration among the dalits. this could be a cause for concern because even the law maintainers in the country has failed to treat everyone fairly. it could result in unrest and distrust among the castes.
