Sikar, Apr 20: A horrifying incident has come to light in Rajasthan’s Sikar district where a 19-year-old Dalit youth has alleged that he was raped, brutally assaulted, and humiliated by two men belonging to the Jat community.

According to police, the incident took place on April 8 but was reported on April 16, when the survivor filed a complaint. He stated that the accused hurled casteist slurs at him during a wedding procession, saying they intended to kill his father but targeted him as his father was abroad.
