Khandwa (Madhya Pradesh): A group of Dalit people allegedly pelted stones on a Dhaba owned by the son of the village head when he requested the villagers not to defecate in the open at a remote village in Khandwa district.

The incident occurred in Sihada village of Khandwa tehsil at 8 pm on Saturday when a group of Dalits hailing from Sudamapuri locality started throwing stones on Lakki Dhaba owned by Lokendra, son of newly elected village sarpanch (Kokilabai). Following which, the sons along with the sarpanch approached Moghat Police station and filed a case against 8 people. A video of the incident surfaced on the Internet in which people are seen pelting stones on the Dhaba.
