Condemning the murder of Dalit BSP leader Kedar Singh Jindan, who was crushed by a Scorpio on Friday at Bakras village in Shillai subdivision of Sirmaur district, the Dalit Shoshan Mukti Manch today took out a rally at Nahan.

The protesters later gave a memorandum to the ADC and pressed for a judicial probe. Jindan, an advocate, was also a renowned social worker who had been fighting for the rights of the Dalits for the last 25 years.

Terming his murder a deep-rooted conspiracy, Jindan’s wife Hemlata, met the DGP in Shimla along with her daughter and demanded that her husband’s post-mortem should be conducted at the IGMC-Shimla.

She said he had raised the issue of irregularities on the list of below poverty line families and since then he was getting threats. She alleged that her husband’s murder was plotted by some people of higher castes of Bakras village, who had asked him to come and meet them at 11 am yesterday.

She alleged that he was then brutally beaten up by a group of people who were carrying rods and other weapons while Gopal and Jai Prakash crushed him under a Scorpio. She said the life of the family was threatened and requested the police to arrest all culprits.

Though the police have arrested Gopal and Jai Prakash, the family alleged that all responsible for this well-planned murder should be arrested soon.
