Four Men Fire in Air, Attack Dalit Family In Madhya Pradesh
Bhopal: A shocking case of caste violence and lawlessness has emerged from Lalpur village under Karera tehsil in Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, where four upper-caste men - recently released from jail - allegedly stormed the house of a Dalit former sarpanch. They had fired nine rounds in air, and assaulted a woman and a young man with the butt of a gun, leaving both injured. According to the victim, Ajmer Singh Parihar, the former sarpanch of Lalpur, the attack is rooted in an old rivalry. The men had been in jail after attacking the same family. They launched the current attack after being released on bail. Around a year-and-a-half ago, a dispute erupted between the two families over DJ music during a local event, which has since snowballed into a prolonged feud. Land-related tensions have further escalated the conflict. On the day of the incident, Nahar Singh Thakur, along with his three brothers, arrived at the former sarpanch's home and began indiscriminate firing into the air. Following the gunfire, the assailants reportedly beat up a woman and a young man, using the butt of their firearms. Both sustained injuries and required medical attention. The chilling footage of the firing has intensified public outrage and added to the pressure on local law enforcement. Ajmer Singh told NDTV that this was not the first attack. "They attacked my brother on June 3 as well. We had filed a case under the SC/ST Act, and the police had sent them to jail. But now they're out - and they came back to attack us again." The local police have confirmed that a case has been registered under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and attempt to murder. The authorities have assured that the accused will face strict legal action.

What will they achieve? Kashmir belongs to India, and Kashmiris are ours. India doesn't even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues. Asalu 500 years back tribals kokkutunnatu, veelu buddi lekunda, minimum common sense lekunda chese panulu.' (They behave like tribals did 500 years ago, fighting without common sense). After facing backlash on social media for his comments, the actor expressed regret. He took to X and wrote, "It has come to my attention that a remark I made during the Retro audio launch event has caused concern among some members of the public. I wish to sincerely clarify: there was absolutely no intention to hurt or target any community, especially our Scheduled Tribes, who I deeply respect and consider an integral part of our country." The actor clarified that his intention was to promote unity, emphasising that India is one, its people are one, and the nation must progress together. He expressed disbelief at the idea that, while advocating for national solidarity, he would deliberately target or discriminate against any community, all of whom he considers part of his larger family. He concluded, "If any part of my message was misunderstood or hurtful, I express my sincere regret. My only aim was to speak of peace, progress, and togetherness. I remain committed to using my platform to uplift and unify — never to divide. Vijay Deverakonda."
