Anger Over Death Of 9-Year-Old Boy In Rajasthan
Treatment at seven different hospitals over 23 days could not save the life of the 9-year-old Dalit boy who was allegedly thrashed by his school teacher in Rajasthan for touching a drinking water pot. The boy died of his injuries on August 13 in Ahmedabad. Rajasthan Police has arrested the teacher under the section of murder and SC/ST act. The police have claimed the sequence of events may be different from what the family claimed. The school has denied the caste angle in the death case, saying he was beaten because of a fight he had with another boy. NDTV's Saurabh Shukla reports from Jalore.
