In Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district, a tribal youth has accused his former employer and associates of a brutal assault involving forced urination and spitting. The allegations have led to outrage and protests among villagers, who blocked roads and demanded strict action against the accused.
Police have registered a case based on Rajkumar Batti's complaint against Raja Chaukse and his associates, citing various sections of the BNS and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The dispute reportedly arose over financial transactions, prompting the youth and his cousin to quit their jobs at a local dhaba.
While villagers insist on the severity of the alleged acts, officials have dismissed initial reports of inhumane treatment. SDM HK Dhurve stated that no evidence of such brutality was found, while ASP Ayush Gupta maintains that the matter revolves around a monetary disagreement, though the investigation continues.
