Dalit Student ‘Harassed’
New Delhi: A Dalit student of Delhi University has alleged that he was attacked by a group of students at Hans Raj College when he was pasting posters of a protest on the institution’s premises. The student also alleged that casteist remarks were passed to harass him.
The student also approached Maurice Nagar police station for filing a complaint against the group.
“I was pasting posters of a student protest against the rape and murder of a Dalit girl when the group attacked me and passed casteist remarks,” said the victim, Puran. The protest was to be held outside Bikaner House on Tuesday.
