A 14-year old boy of the Dalit community was made to clean up his faeces after he was found by the owner of the land defecating behind the bushes of the field in Pennagaram.
The boy’s father filed a complaint at the Pennagaram Police Station.
A case was registered after outrage and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) doomed this type of behaviour against the boy.
The boy was made to clear his faeces by his bare hands and was beaten up by the owner of the land, says the complaint.
The complaint also stated that the boy steeped into a nearby area under an umbrella to defecate amidst heavy rains on 15 July, 2020.
On 17 July, 2020, Rajashekar (owner) was registered under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 (1) of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015.
Rajashekar is not yet arrested.
