The Karnataka Dalita Sangharsha Samiti (Ambedkarvada) alleged that police officers in Narona station in Kalaburagi district meted out discrimination against Dalits.
Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Monday, Arjun T. Gobburkar, State convener of the organisation, said that the Narona police arrested Dalits in a case but did not arrest the ‘upper castes’ accused in another case.
As per the information he provided, Bhimsha, a Dalit youth who was working as a computer operator at Kere Ambalaga Gram Panchayat, was fired from his job. When he and his father, along with others, objected to it, gram panchayat president Bommalinga Biradar and his brothers attacked the former.
