ROHTAK: Holi revelery turned sour on Sunday when a group of upper caste revelers attacked a group of Balmiki youths in Balham village of Rohtak district.
A group of youths from the Jat and Gurjar communities were passing through the area where the Balmiki community lives on Sunday when some youths who were in an inebriated condition reportedly passed comments which did not go down well with the Balmikis, who objected to it.
The sources said that this led to a verbal duel which soon took a violent turn as the two groups clashed while raining blows and attacking each other with lathis. The police informed that five Balmiki youths who were injured in the clash were rushed to the PGIMS Rohtak.
The injured have been identified as Mukesh, Jai Bhagwan, Anil, Naresh and Manjit who are undergoing treatment at Rohtak. The SHO of Kalanaur police station Hari Singh informed TOI that a case under sections 148 (rioting), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (causing hurt) and some other sections of the IPC has been registered against nine persons from the Jat and Gurjar communities on the complaint of Amit Kumar, a Dalit.
"The police have started investigation into the incident and a police team has left for the PGIMS Rohtak for getting statements of the victims," the SHO said. "The incident appears to have taken place as some of the youths were in an inebriated condition. The accused have not been arrested so far", the SHO stated.
