Belgavi incident amplifies concerns about law and order in Karnataka: Sitharaman

IndiaTimes Friday, 15 December 2023
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticizes the Karnataka government for its ineffective handling of crimes, citing the recent incident in Belgavi where a Dalit woman was paraded naked. She compares the incident to similar atrocities against Dalits in Congress-ruled Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Sitharaman highlights the high number of reported cases in Karnataka this year, emphasizing the lack of justice for SC and ST communities. The incident in Belgavi occurred after a woman's son eloped with a girl, resulting in her assault, stripping, and being tied to an electric pole by the girl's family.
