Chhatarpur News: The old practices of untouchability and casteism are still alive in a village in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, which are still causing trouble for Dalit families. The latest case is from Atrar village of Satai police station, where a Dalit person offered prasad in Hanuman temple through the priest and then distributed it among some people of the village. After this, the village sarpanch Santosh Tiwari, as soon as he came to know about this, socially boycotted the Dalit family and the five people who ate the prasad. In the case, the villagers allege that after the order of the sarpanch, they are not being invited to any social event like marriage, thirteenth day or Chowk. Due to this they are facing mental torture. The victim Dalit family has complained about this matter to the SP and has demanded appropriate action. The police is investigating the matter and has assured to take action.

Dalit boycotted from the village

Victim Jagat Ahirwar told that he had offered prasad to the priest in the temple on August 20, after which he was boycotted. Along with this, about 20 people of the village who had eaten the prasad have also been socially boycotted. Jagat also told that because he comes from the Dalit community, all this is happening due to the practice of untouchability.

Another victim Raju Kushwaha also told that he was also boycotted because he had eaten the prasad of the Dalit family. Now no one calls him in the village either.

What did the accused sarpanch say in the case

At the same time, the village sarpanch Santosh Tiwari says that all this is happening due to election rivalry because Jagat Ahirwar contested from him in the last election and lost. Therefore, he is making allegations. Chhatarpur district’s Bijawar SDOP Shashankar Jain said that he has received an application in this matter and the matter is serious. He said that investigation is being done and appropriate action will be taken.
