TUMAKURU: The long-pending demand for a separate burial ground for Dalits in Byrenahalli of Koratagere taluk in Tumakuru district led to tension as the family of a dead man buried his body on a piece of government land on Thursday, claiming they had no other place to bury him.
This led to a clash between Dalits and upper-caste people, with the latter threatening to disinter the body and the bereaved family sitting on a vigil at the grave to prevent that.
