Dalit youth assaulted

COIMBATORE: Even after enactment of Prevention of Atrocities Act two
decade ago, Dalits continue to be targeted by the upper caste people
on one pretext or the other. An Arunthathiyar youth was allegedly
assaulted by a group of upper class men in the city's outskirts
recently.
Speaking to Express, M Thangavel, State Convenor for Avinashi based
NGO Vizhuthugal said P Karuppasamy was going to Mathipalayam in a bus
when a person belonging to upper caste allegedly questioned the youth
for sitting next to him. A few more caste Hindus joined him and
started using abusive language.
When Karuppasamy alighted the bus, they assaulted him. Later, he was
treated at Coimbatore Medical College Hospital.
Though Perur police registered a case against five persons, no arrest
has been made so far.
