The complainant resides with her husband Pandurang Sawant and their children at Anbadvet/Amralewadi, Taluka Mulshi, District Pune, where the family earns its livelihood through welding work. Since 2012, while living on rent in the village, the complainant and her family have been repeatedly harassed, abused, and humiliated by several village residents on various occasions.
In February 2023, when the complainant's husband went to connect a pipe to a public water tap, several accused persons assaulted him with hands, abused him using casteist words, forcibly removed the pipe, and assaulted other family members as well. On 09/03/2025, due to previous enmity, the same group stopped the complainant’s son on the road, assaulted him with stones, iron rods, and sticks, and beat the complainant, her husband, and daughters when they tried to intervene. The accused also threatened the family with severe consequences, including references to the Khairlanji incident, to deter them from approaching the police.
Further, on 26/04/2023 at around 10:00 pm, while the complainant was at Amralewadi Chowk with her daughter and granddaughter, Prasad Kailas Amrale abused them, made threatening and humiliating remarks, threw stones causing injuries to the complainant, and continued to threaten her. The accused persons collectively blocked roads, intimidated the complainant, and continued their threats even thereafter.
Overall, the complainant alleges that the named accused persons, acting in collusion at various times between February 2023 and April 2025, repeatedly abused her and her family with caste-based language, assaulted them using hands, sticks, iron rods, and stones, caused physical injuries, mental harassment, and intimidation, particularly in relation to the use of public water facilities, thereby committing cognizable offences under law.

The complainant, a construction contractor running SK Construction, states that he completed multiple construction projects assigned by Mohan Gaikwad, including works at Shivajinagar, Hinjewadi, and Shri Sai Hills in Kesanand, Pune, with the final project work completed in June 2024. Despite submitting the total bill of Rs. 58,02,838/- on 30/07/2024, Mohan Gaikwad did not pay and avoided repeated follow-ups.
On 14/11/2025, while the complainant along with subcontractors Gafur Sheikh and Sagar Hanumante met at Starbucks Cafe, World Trade Center, Kharadi, Pune to discuss work-related matters. Mohan Gaikwad confronted him. Instead of addressing the pending payment, Gaikwad verbally abused the complainant using casteist language, humiliated him publicly, and issued threats. Despite repeated requests to restrict the discussion to the bill, Gaikwad continued caste-based harassment and humiliation, prompting the complainant to call police via 112.
The complainant seeks legal action against Mohan Pandharinath Gaikwad, resident of Vadgaon Sheri, Pune, for caste-based abuse, intimidation, and public humiliation.

The institutional killing of four members of the same Dalit family.

The incident took place in Navalpur Mishrauliya village, under the jurisdiction of the Sakra police station in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar.Amarnath Ram, a member of the Scheduled Caste community, lived in the aforementioned village. His financial condition was extremely dire. His wife passed away due to a lack of medical treatment; she had been a key contributor to the household's work, and her death left the family in a truly wretched state. Amarnath himself suffered from chronic illness. He had taken a loan from a microfinance company, and it is alleged that company employees pressured him relentlessly for repayment. Government schemes failed to alleviate his poverty, and due to his destitute condition, even government officials paid no heed to his grievances. It is reported that he had been making repeated visits to the Block office seeking a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Driven to despair, Amarnath took his own life—and that of his three daughters—by hanging on the night of January 15, 2026. This amounts to a form of institutional killing. Fortunately, his two young sons, Shivam and Chandan, survived; the district administration has since admitted both children to the Scheduled Caste Residential School in Muzaffarpur.
