Dalit groups against CoD inquiry

Staff Correspondent

Bidar: Dalit organisations have opposed the State Government's decision to order a Corps of Detectives inquiry into the defiling of an Ambedkar statue, the violence that followed and the police atrocities on protesters in the district on December 6. Dalit groups are demanding a judicial probe into the incident.

"We blame the Deputy Commissioner Munish Moudgil and the Superintendent of Police Roopa Divakar for the police action against Dalits," they said. We want a judicial probe, Vaijanath Suryavanshi, convenor of the United Forum of Dalit Organizations, said.

The forum includes representatives of various Dalit organizations, political parties, student organisations and the Backward and Minorities Communities Employees Federation.
