Dalit killings: Cop seeks anticipatory bail

Meanwhile,the situation outside the Surendranagar collector office where five dalits are sitting on indefinite hunger strike demanding arrest of four accused police officials was reported to be tensed on Thursday night.

“Health of some of the people sitting on fast worsened following which authorities are trying to shift us all by force to hospital. We are demanding to get treatment for those whose condition has deteriorated at the spot,” Valjibhai Rathod,who is also sitting on fast,told The Indian Express.

Till this report was filed,some dalit leaders were in discussion with district collector P H Shah over the issue amid heavy police bandobast outside his office.

Shah could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.
