Bhopal, July 27 (UNI) A video has surfaced on social media, where a girl belonging to a Dalit family claimed that a group of upper caste people objected to her going to school and also snatched her school bag. This incident was reported from a village in Shajapur district, around 150 km from the state capital Bhopal. As the video surfaced on social media, some politically connected locals raised this issue, alleging that “Some people belonging to the upper caste don’t allow a Dalit girl to go to school.”Later, the matter reached the police, and a FLIR was registered against some upper caste people. However, when the Shajapur police reached the village, they found that it was a land dispute issue.
During the investigation, the Shajapur police found that some land that was in the possession of a Gurjar family was exchanged with a Rajput family. The Rajput family had put up a fence around the land. There was a well on that piece of land and some Dalit families used to fetch water from it.
