Gujarat Flogging Case

Four policemen found guilty of contempt of court for flogging some minority community members in Kheda district on Wednesday requested the Gujarat High Court that they be directed to pay compensation rather than being given punishment.

District Collector KL Bachani said a local court had taken note of the case of public flogging.

Two victims of the Una Dalit flogging incident in Gujarat on Wednesday alleged that one of the accused, who is on bail, threatened them and tried to pressurise them into withdrawing the FIR lodged in the case.

The Gujarat High Court today granted bail to four accused, including two policemen, who were arrested for their alleged involvement in the Dalit flogging incident at Una town of Gir-Somnath district.

Nearly two months after seven Dalit men were flogged allegedly by self-styled cow vigilantes at Una in Gujarat, police have filed a charge sheet against 34 persons, including four police personnel who were arrested today on charges of dereliction of duty and failure to stop the crime which triggered a massive unrest.
