Dalit youth in Rajasthan alleges brutal assault, sparking outrage and calls for justice from political leaders.
A 19-year-old Dalit youth from Sikar district of Rajasthan has alleged that he was beaten, urinated on and sexually assaulted by two men, police said on Sunday (April 20, 2025).
They said the incident took place in Sikar's Fatehpur area on April 8 but an FIR was lodged in the matter on April 16 after the teenager's family lodged a police complaint.
"We have registered an FIR in the matter. Medical examination of the victim has been done and his statement has been recorded. The matter is being investigated," Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Arvind Kumar said.
A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, he said.
According to the complaint, the youth stepped out to watch a wedding procession in his village on April 8 when the two accused called him to a bus stand on the pretext of some work.
The two then took him to a secluded location and hit him, including on his private parts, forced him to remove his clothes and performed unnatural sex on him, the complaint stated.
"They were drunk. They hit me with a bottle, urinated on me and used casteist slurs," the victim alleged, adding that the accused also recorded a video of their acts and "threatened" to share it on social media if he told anyone about the incident.
