The mob was sparked by anger over Sachin Raghav’s brother Sunder’s speech that referenced the term ‘bhangi’ in describing social roles, upsetting the Valmiki community.
As soon as the police arrived at the scene, the attackers fled. The police sent Sachin to the government hospital for medical examination.
Aligarh: A remark,“If a cow falls into a drain, we pull it out and become ‘bhangi’,” angered the Valmiki-Dalit community. Two days later, speaker Sunder Singh Raghav’s brother Sachin, who is Karni Sena (Youth) district chief was assaulted and paraded. pic.twitter.com/ctbpZiLGID
