Unrest Breaks Out in Uttar Pradesh over Barbering Dispute, 20 Arrested as Rocks are Hurled at Police Officers
Down and Dirty Details About the Uprising in Etawah
Things went sideways in the small town of Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, after a couple of Bhagwat Katha preachers, Mukut Mani Yadav and his aide Sant Singh Yadav, faced some serious disrespect.
Sources suggest the incident took place on the late-night shindig of June 22-23, smack in the heart of Dandarpur village. The drama unfolded when these humble preachers ventured into the village for a simple Bhagwat Katha event. As fate would have it, their caste identity was uncovered. Not cool, right?
A nasty bunch of "upper-caste" men couldn't letthat pass and allegedly gave them a good ol' tonsure treatment, accompanied by humiliating remarks like, "You're being punished for stepping foot in a Brahmin village." Ah, the good old days.
To make matters worse, they reportedly sprinkled "purifying" urine on poor Sant Singh. It's like something out of a bad joke, only it ain't.
In response to this vile act, four local dudes—Ashish Tiwari, Uttam Kumar Awasthi, Nikki Awasthi, and Manu Dubey—were promptly arrested by the police and faced charges in a registered FIR.
But wait! Let's not think this is just a small-time spat. Protests from the Yadav community escalated with clashes between protesters and the police, resulting in stone-throwing incidents across the town.
Etawah officials are working tirelessly to maintain order and tranquility in the area. The accused are behind bars, and the situation remains tense, with political figures weighing in on the caste-based issues at hand.
Oh, and before I forget, the whole darn thing was captured on video, because, hey, why leave a fun moment unsquandered? It's up on social media if you fancy a peek. Just a friendly heads-up: it ain't exactly a feel-good watch.
All in all, better days are on the horizon for Dandarpur village and the beleaguered preachers. Or so we hope! Til then, keep your wits about you and stay tuned for updates, folks.
