The Dalits refuted the claim and said that it was Thakurs who had attacked the baraat. They also said that they were taking the procession peacefully and when they were passing through the houses that belonged mostly to upper caste people. They started hurling abuses and half a dozen men attacked them with lathis, said Vinay Kumar. On the basis of his complaint, five Thakur men have also been booked under the SC/ST act for rioting and causing violence.
Another complainant, Sanjeev Rana said that a baraat of Dalits was passing through a lane on Tuesday night in which a board bearing the name of Maharana Pratap was damaged. But they remained calm. On Wednesday, some 40 men, armed with lathis, attacked our locality, uprooted the damaged board and jumped on it, besides indulging in stone-pelting.
