A Dalit man was attacked in Upadhyapur village under the Jaisinghpur police station area of Sultanpur district. In the incident, which took place around 7 am on Saturday, the victim, Ram Sundar, was beaten by three men from the village at his doorstep in front of his children. The victim has filed a complaint with the Superintendent of Police (SP) and demanded action.
In his complaint, Ram Sundar stated that on the day of the incident, he was warming himself by a bonfire at his doorstep with his children. Three men from the village then arrived at his door. He alleges that they verbally abused him without any provocation.
The attackers then grabbed Ram Sundar by the collar, threw him to the ground, and beat him with kicks and punches. Ram Sundar’s cries for help attracted nearby villagers. Following the intervention of the villagers, the attackers left, threatening to kill Ram Sundar. His daughter-in-law and neighbors intervened, saving his life.
The victim also stated that this is not the first time these men have attacked him. The attackers had previously assaulted Ram Sundar twice. The lack of action by the police despite his previous complaints had emboldened the attackers. Ram Sundar had tried to file a complaint at the police station earlier, but he was turned away.
Following the current incident, Ram Sundar has submitted a written complaint to the Superintendent of Police of Sultanpur. He has requested that his report be registered, that a medical examination of his injuries be conducted, and that strict action be taken against the attackers. No concrete action has been taken in the case so far.
The Sultanpur Superintendent of Police has assured the victim that the matter will be investigated seriously and appropriate action will be taken.
