Bhopal, May 16 (PTI) The cases of atrocities against dalits were
highest in BSP-ruled Uttar Pradesh followed by Bihar and Madhya
Pradesh, National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) said today.

The Commission would submit its final report to President Pratibha
Patil by May 26, NCSC Chairman Buta Singh said.

"Uttar Pradesh tops the list of the states followed by Bihar and
Madhya Pradesh in atrocities against scheduled caste," Singh told
reporters here.

At times, Bihar surpasses UP, and some times MP goes to the second
place in connection with the atrocities on the dalits, he said, adding
that first three positions keep changing among these three states.

"We will submit our final report after visiting different states to
President Pratibha Patil by May 26," he said.

He said Punjab, Harayana, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu are not lagging
behind in offences against dalits.
