A group of men beat a Dali person to death in connection with his love affair with the wife of one of them. The police have arrested seven persons over the incident that took place in the Prempura village of Rajasthan’s Hanumangarh district.
A video clip showing some men assaulting Jagdish Meghwal, 29, have gone viral on social media. He is seen pleading for mercy but they do not budge.
The FIR, registered on the complaint of Meghwal’s father Banwari Lal, stated that the accused had dumped the body outside the family’s home, in Hanumangarh’s Prempura village, on Thursday. The FIR names 11 people, including the woman with whom the police believe he allegedly had an affair, as accused in the case.
