DALIT COMMISSION NOTICE TO BIHAR GOVT

GOVT SAYS DALIT MAN DIED AND NOT BURIED ALIVE

The National Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe Commission issues notices to the Bihar government on whether a dalit man was buried alive in Supaul district and now the Bihar government tells the commission that the dalit sadhu (holyman) died two minutes before he was buried.
Thats exactly the statement the villagers have given on pressure from the police and state administration.
Mr. Sharma, chairman of the Commission in Bihar, says he will further probe the issue.
