AGRA: A Dalit family of three was allegedly beaten up and their livestock shed burnt down by a man from the Thakur caste at a village in Mainpuri on Saturday evening, because they did not greet him in public. An FIR has been filed against five including the main accused, according to the police.
Hariom Katheria, 35, of Daulatpur village told TOI he was working in the fields near his house when the man from Thakur caste, Chhote Lala, passed him. Lala allegedly got infuriated as Katheria did not greet him when he passed, and started abusing the Dalit.

"He took off his slippers and beat me. When my wife, Meera, and brother, Shyam Sunder, intervened, they too were thrashed," Katheria alleged. Katheria later went to Chhote Lala's house to complain about his behaviour to his family, where another altercation happened. "I returned home around 7.30 pm. A little later Lala arrived with his associates from the nearby village of Bajhera and again assaulted my family and me," he said.
The assailants also allegedly fired six rounds from their firearms in the air and set the cattle shed at Katheria's house on fire.
