5 Dalits shot dead in UP village

Five Dalits, including three woman and a child, were shot dead and two others injured by Thakurs in Jehrana village of Aligarh district early on Wednesday morning, it was officially stated in Lucknow.

The incident was a fallout of a clash between the Thakurs and Jatvas during Holi, a home department spokesman told reporters.

The main accused, Gullu Singh, absconding since the incident, was jailed in 1993 in a murder case, he said. Gullu's mother and uncle have been detained for questioning.

Police and Provincial Armed Constabulary personnel have been deployed in the village, the spokesman added.
