Bhopal: A Dalit man, identified as Rohit Valmiki, was reportedly assaulted by police in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, raising serious concerns about ongoing caste-based discrimination and police brutality in the region.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Valmiki, who works as a sanitary worker, described being stopped and attacked by police officers after he overtook their vehicles on his motorcycle.
