Patna:
A Dalit man was beaten to death for plucking two brinjals from a
field belonging to a landowner of a higher caste in a village in
Bihar, police said Wednesday.
To escape the clutches of law, the landowner later offered the
grieving Dalit family Rs.75,000 and a piece of land. The family
turned down the offer.
Suresh Manjhi, a resident of Moresand village in Samastipur
district, was caught Tuesday evening when Subodh Singh spotted him
in his field.
Manjhi's family members said that Singh then locked Manjhi in a
room and thrashed him.
"He died soon after being thrown at our doorstep Tuesday night," a
family member told IANS.
Subodh Singh later tried to persuade Manjhi's family not to
approach the police, and offered them Rs.75,000 and a some land in
return.
"But the family approached us, and lodged a complaint. We will
take action soon," a police officer said.
