UP: Dalit man loses vision in eye after caste attack
In Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, a young Dalit man named Rahul lost vision in his left eye after a violent caste-based attack on Friday.
The accused, Shankar Bind, allegedly stabbed Rahul's eye with a motorcycle key during an argument that began when Rahul went to a canal in the Aurai area to defecate.
The situation escalated quickly—Bind reportedly used caste slurs and threatened to kill Rahul before attacking him.
Bind fled the spot after locals gathered there
Rahul was rushed to a hospital but had to be shifted to Varanasi due to the severity of his injuries; his condition remains critical.
Police have registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act based on a complaint from Rahul's father.
Meanwhile, Bind fled the spot after locals gathered there, and police continue their investigation into the assault.
