Haryana Dalits Killing Case

The Delhi High Court today overturned the acquittal of 20 persons in the 2010 Mirchpur Dalit killing case while observing that instances of atrocities against Scheduled Castes have not abated even after 71 years of Independence.

The Delhi High Court on Friday held 33 people guilty in a 2010 Dalit killing case in Haryana's Hisar district and said that "71 years after Independence, instances of atrocities against Scheduled Castes by those belonging to dominant castes have shown no sign of abating."

The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a case of murder against 11 people in connection with the killing of two children of a Dalit family, who were burnt alive after their house was set on fire in Sunped village in Haryana, 40 kilometers from Delhi on October 20.

Several Left-backed organisations on Wednesday staged protest outside Haryana Bhawan here seeking "immediate" arrest of perpetrators of killing of two Dalit children in Faridabad, allegedly by upper caste men.

Three persons were sentenced to life imprisonment by a Delhi court today for their involvement in the April 2010 killings of a 70-year-old Dalit and his physically-challenged daughter at Haryana's Mirchpur village.

A Delhi court today convicted 15 of the 97 accused of burning alive a 70-year-old man and his physically challenged daughter at the Mirchpur village in Haryana last year.
