"Barbarism": Jignesh Mevani Tweets Outrage On Rajasthan Dalit Murder
NDTV
In the 45-second clip tweeted by Jignesh Mevani, five men are seen surrounding a man lying on the ground -- one man pinning him down and another holding his legs.
Independent Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani -- who pledged support to the Congress last month -- has tweeted a video of a Dalit man, whose murder has set off a political storm in Congress-ruled Rajasthan. The man was beaten to death allegedly for his love affair with a neighbour's wife. The clip appears to be a part of a longer video, allegedly shot and circulated by the accused after the murder, which evoked outrage in the state. In it, the man was being given water to drink and then repeatedly thrashed with sticks. The accused men have been arrested. Extremely disturbing incident being reported from Rajasthan where a poor Dalit man was brutally murdered. A quick action must be taken and culprits be brought to book immediately. I request Rajasthan govt to take this on priority. This barbarism isnt allowed anywhere. pic.twitter.com/2GRPrxwg2T
