Dalit thrown into boiling oil cauldron

Etawah (UTTAR PRADESH): A Dalit youth working at a confectionary here died after he was allegedly pushed into a cauldron full of boiling oil by his employer sparking protests by his family and others.

The incident occurred on Saturday in Bharthana area in the district when the youth refused to work for the confectionary owner Anoop Porwal due to ill health, according to family members of the victim.

District Police Chief S.S. Aditya said a case of murder would be registered against the accused after a thorough investigation of the matter. The victim’s family alleged that Porwal and some others thrashed Satyaveer Singh and forced him to work though he had not been keeping well for the past few days.

A manhunt has been launched to nab Porwal, who fled from the spot after the incident.

Protesters blocked traffic briefly on Etawah-Kannauj road soon after the incident, police said. — PTI
