Family of the boy in Rajasthan says he was harassed by two of his teachers who used casteist slurs against him and that the school principal did not take action even after complaints
A week back in Tamil Nadu, India, a Dalit student was attacked by his fellow students for studying well - https://www.newsclick.in/tn-dalit-student-attacked-studying-well-anti-caste-groups-ring-alarm. A group of high school students broke into his home and hacked him with a sickle.
Harrasing the victim’s family who are already dealing with a loss is also not new in India. Most times, if the victim’s family files a police case/ lodges an FIR to report the crime, the offendor’s family slaps a fake case on them and then the police join in in coercing the victim’s family to withdraw their case.
