Shahpur Police tortured dalit youth: Munavalli
By Our Staff Correspondent
BELGAUM, JAN. 28. Shankar Munvalli, KPCC Member and Chairman, DCC SC/ST Cell, has accused the Shahpur Police of committing attrocities against a dalit youth.
He submitted a memorandum addressed to the Home Minister, Mallikarjun Kharge, to the Deputy Commissioneron Monday. Mr. Munavalli alleged that Ravi Tippanna Dhotre of Shahpur, a II PUC student, was picked up by the accused in a bogus case on Friday. He was tortured to the extent that he had become immobile.
Drawing attention towards other excesses and unfair practices of the Shahpur Police, he said they had given a burial to a case of suicide by a girl, who refused to be involved in sex trade, on Sunday. He demanded a thorough investigation into the matter since the Superintendent of Police was not responding to the complaint in this regard.
He alleged that the SP, B.Dayanand, the Additional SP, Pandurang Rane, and other senior officials had failed to check the crime rate, which was on the rise. Repeated incidents of dacoities had created a fear psychosis. Failure to stop single digit lottery and "mataka" was one of the main reasons for increase in crime. The Government should replace Mr. Dayanand and Mr. Rane with competent officials.
