Telangana: BJP leader forces 2 Dalits to dip in muddy pond

[TampaChinnodu]

Bharath Reddy has been accused of involvement in two murders and several other cases registered at various police stations in the district.

 The owner of the quarry, M. Bharath Reddy, a BJP leader and the former district general secretary of the party, rushed to the spot and began beating the boys with a stick.

Nizamabad: A BJP leader behaved in a violent manner with two Dalit youths who raised questions about his illegal gravel quarry in Abhangapatnam village of Navipet mandal in Nizamabad district. A video clip of the incident went viral on social media on Sunday. As a result, the BJP leader allegedly whisked away the two victims to an unknown location.

Sources said Dalit youths Kondra Laxman and Rajeshwar of Abhangapatnam village went to the gravel quarry on the outskirts of their village to inquire about its permissions on September 17. 

The owner of the quarry, M. Bharath Reddy, a BJP leader and the former district general secretary of the party, rushed to the spot and began beating the boys with a stick. He then made them take a dip in a muddy water tank, touch their noses to the ground, and apologise for visiting the quarry. 

Dalits begged for mercy but in vain
The owner of the quarry, M. Bharath Reddy, a BJP leader and the former district general secretary of the party, also used filthy language and threatened the duo with dire consequences. The victims pleaded with folded hands but he refused to relent.

Mr Bharath Reddy has been accused of involvement in two murders and several other cases registered at various police stations in the district. After spending four years underground, he re-surfaced in his native village Gandhinagar in Navipet mandal and has been participating in party programmes. Speaking to this paper, G. Naresh, the SI of Navipe, said that the victims had not yet filed a complaint about the incident.

Local Telangana Politician Abuses Dalit Men, Forces Them Into Dirty Pond
A local leader in Telangana is seen in video abusing two Dalit men.
HYDERABAD: 
HIGHLIGHTS
Video of incident from September goes viral in state, sparks outrage
The two men had objected to gravel mining
Locals say politician was a BJP leader, party says he was only a member
 A shocking cellphone video showing a local politician in Telangana abusing and threatening to beat two men, who, locals say, belong to the Dalit community has sparked outrage in the state. The video of the incident that purportedly took place in September is being widely circulated now.

The video from Nizamabad district shows Mr Reddy forcing the men - aged around 30 - to get into murky waters of a pond and take a dip. The altercation was sparked apparently because the two men objected to gravel mining in the area.

The men plead to be forgiven and even fall at his feet. But the leader is seen using a stick to chase them into the dirty water. As they take a dip with folded hands, he stands on the bank and watches and verbally abuses them. He even captures the scene on his cellphone. An aide who is awaiting beside a motorbike, does not intervene.

Locals say the men, identified as Laxman and Haggadah who are residents of Avanipatnam village in Navipeta mandal, had dared to complain against the alleged illegal mining activities, digging for gravel.

Aghast Dalit organisations claimed Mr Reddy used such abuses and felt could get away with threats because the men belonged to so-called lower castes. They have demanded that the police file a case under the Prevention of SC/ST Atrocities Act.

Assistant Commissioner of Police M Sudhakar told NDTV they have received a complaint and would be arresting the accused.

Sources say Bharat Reddy has been in jail before in connection with the murder case of a local Congress leader.

State BJP spokesperson Krishna Sagar refuted reports that said Bharat Reddy is a BJP leader. "He became a party member through a missed call but he is not a leader of our party," he said.

Locals say he has been seen organising party related activities in the district. They also say since Sunday morning, the two men seen being abused in the video are missing.
