Situation in Hisar village continues to be tense

STAFF WRITER 17:43 HRS IST
Hisar (Haryana), Apr 23 (PTI) The situation in village Mirchpur in
Hisar district continues to be tense for the second day today as
Dalits refused to cremate the two victims of intercaste violence,
demanding filing of cases against officials who they claim were
present when it happened.



The district administration, including the Superintendent of Police,
Deputy Commissioner and other officials have so far failed to convince
the Dalits to cremate Suman, 18, and her father Tara Chand, 70, who
died in the violence that broke out on April 21.



Dalits are demanding registration of criminal cases against the SDM
Hansi, Tehsildar and other officers and policemen, claiming they were
present in the village when the violence occurred.

Suman and her father Tara Chand were charred to death when a group of
people belonging to the upper caste set a dozen houses belonging to
the Dalits on fire.
