In Punjab's Seeda village, a 17-year-old Dalit boy named Harjot Singh was allegedly paraded half-naked and attacked by a group who accused him of helping his friend marry outside their caste.
The attackers shaved his head and beard, blackened his face, filmed the ordeal, and forced him through the village—leaving him injured and deeply shaken.
