Eight people have been booked in connection with the incident, which took place in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh, police said.

Bhopal: Two Dalit children were allegedly brutally beaten up by members of the Lodhi community for touching a water utensil, in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh. Eight people have been booked in connection with the case, police said.

According to a complaint lodged by the victim’s father, Manohar Ahirwar,  “On Friday evening my son and daughter had gone to grocery shop owned by Devi Singh Lodhi to purchase biscuits. My son mistakenly touched a water utensil. Devi Singh thrashed my children. Later, when my mother confronted them, Lodhi and a few others beat them up too.”

The Lodhi community is categorised as an Other Backward Classes and a dominant group in the region.

Later, Lodhi along with seven others came to my house and thrashed us, including my elderly parents. An FIR has been registered against the eight people on charges of rioting, voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, vandalizing property and atrocities against SC/ST, said Tendukheda police station in-charge BL Choudhary.
