Dalit man assaulted over demand to use village crematorium
A 50-year-old Dalit man was allegedly assaulted by the upper caste community in Maharashtra's Chinchavli village after he complained to the local authorities about the Dalit residents not being allowed to use the village's common crematorium. A crowd of around 50 men allegedly smeared cow dung on his face, poured petrol on his body and beat him with bamboo sticks.
