Dalit man made to lick slippers in Uttar Pradesh

A Dalit man who was allegedly beate up and forced to lick the footwear of an energy department contractor, according to the police, was detain in this Uttar Pradesh district on Sunday. They announced, “Tejbali Singh Patel has been terminate from the service.”

A video of the event went viral on social media, showing the accused slapping the complainant after shoving him to the ground and twisting one of his arms. According to authorities, Rajendra Chamar filed his complaint on July 8. “He went to his maternal uncle’s house on July 6 when the electricity went out. When Patel began yelling insults at him, he was attempting to pinpoint the problem. He forced him to lick his chappal while simultaneously hurling casteist insults. Then the locals stepped in,” a police officer added.

In a Hindi tweet, AAP politician Sanjay Singh claimed that a Dalit man was being force to lick his footwear by the devil. How can you talk about consistent civil laws when Dalits are not even given human rights under your (the BJP’s) rule? The BJP-ruled state of Uttar Pradesh has descended into anarchy, and the installation of President’s rule is the only viable solution, according to RLD spokesperson Ankur Saxena.
