MORENA: Refusal to plough a field proved costly for a Dalit labourer,
who was allegedly tied to a tractor and dragged till he was injured by
two persons in Murdav village of Morena district.

The incident occurred yesterday when Lalsingh Jatav refused to plough
the field of Kadamsingh Kushwaha and Ball Singh, saying he was sick
and will do it later, police said.

Angry over the refusal, the duo abused Jatav and tied him with a rope
to a tractor and dragged him in the village, leaving him injured.

Some of Jatav's sympathisers also pelted stones on the duo while they
were dragging him and they also sustained injuries.

Police have registered a case against Kushwaha and Singh and also
against Jatav and his supporters, based on complaints from both sides.
