Approximately 500 families stay in the village, of which OC Reddy (Munnuru Kapu) - 350 families, SC Madiga - 103 families, SC Mala – 3 families and OBC - 75 families. Very few dalit families have a piece of land and all the rest are landless. Most of the dalits migrated to Bombay as daily labourers. The dalits in village have to go for daily labour in the lands of dominant community people. Both the Gram Sarpanch and MPTC member belong to Reddy community.

                  Esrampalli Chinna Balaiah stays in the village along with his eldest son Esrampalli Anand (32), Jyothi (30) w/o Anand, second son Esrampalli Vijay (28), Ratnamma (25) w/o Vijay. On 19^th June’09 Chinnabandla Malleswara Reddy s/o Bhimanna working on daily wages in the panchyat office has come alongwith 2 other workers to repair the tap near the house of Chinna Balaiah. While the other 2 were busy on their work, Malleswara Reddy was taking away the ash tin. When Anand questioned him, Malleswara Reddy abused Anand on the name of caste, caught hold of his hand and pushed him down. Having noticed that his brother has fallen down, Vijay beat Malleswara Reddy. Around 1.30pm the village Sarpanch and MPTC called both the groups and compromised.

                 Later in the evening when Vijay went out in the village, he was questioned and abused by Anand Reddy and Anji Reddy. Vijay went to the Sarpanch and while he was saying him about the incident suddenly power was put off. Malleswara Reddy and 150 others came with sticks, whips, etc and attacked the house of Anand. Giramma w/o Balaiah, Jyothi w/o Anand’s and Ratnamma w/o Vijaya tried to stop them entering into the house, but in vain. Having come to know that both Vijay and Anand were not at home, they abused them in filthy language and warned them saying that they will see the end of her sons, further abused them saying “Aa madiga langa kodukuolanu, epudu kakapothi repu ayena champutamu”. Since Bomanna, Jayappa and others repeatedly pleaded them and as even MPTC member asked them to go back, they went away. 

               Anand and Vijay went to Narva P.S at 12:00 in the mid night and lodged a complaint on Malleshwara Reddy. Having come to know that they have lodged a complaint, drinking water was stopped for 3 days and not allowing anyone to work in the fields Balaiah.

The attack is in continuation of the previous attacks. For the first time it was in February 1994, social boycott was imposed, drinking water was stopped for one month. Likewise in the year 1997 they were once again attacked. Further Anand was beaten as someone wrote “I Love You” on a church wall. Like this the family is being targeted for simple reasons. One of the main reasons behind the attacks is that this family owns land, don’t depend on the dominant community and question the violations of the dominant community.

In this regions, Kanduvatti businessmen belongs to dominant caste hindu communities, voluntarily provide loans charging exorbitant interest rates. Hence most of the scavengers were indebted to these kanduvatti businessmen. If they fails to pay the interest on time, these men won’t hesitate to ransack the properties of the debtors. They threaten the poor scavengers and verbally abuse them referring derogatory regarding caste name. If the debtors fails to pay the interest on time, they took away their belonging by trespassing their home. Since the government started paying the wages through banks, these Kanduvatti businessmen threaten them and snatch their ATM card, Pass Book and their secret Pin number. Once the salary was credited, they withdraw the money on their own without seeking permission of the account holders (Scavengers). These creditors charge Rs.10 for every Rs.100 per month. Since most of the scavengers caught in the web of these Kanduvatti businessmen, victims have been appealing the government to take the initiative to release from this trauma. Lot of petitions has been sent to higher authorities of the government, but in vain.
