Panchkula, May 3 -- Police have heightened security in Raipur Rani's Mauli village following a spurt in casteist attacks, including one during a Dalit wedding procession in April and another on two students from the Scheduled Caste (SC) community this Thursday. Around 120 police personnel, equipped with anti-riot gear, have been deployed as the village, located 25 km from Panchkula city, remains tense. Five permanent checkpoints have been established for constant surveillance, complemented by 12 CCTV cameras and five body cameras. A specialised tear gas team is also on standby. On April 6, upper-caste residents allegedly threatened a Dalit groom's father-in-law, using casteist remarks, to prevent the groom from mounting a horse during his wedding procession. Two days later, on April 8, a 22-year-old Dalit woman, returning from college with a friend and aunt, was allegedly intercepted by upper-caste individuals, who used casteist slurs and threats. The woman and her friend were reportedly molested, while her aunt was also verbally abused with casteist remarks, resulting in a second FIR. The most recent attack was reported on Thursday when two students were attacked after one of them posted an Instagram video of SC community members at the Ravidas temple. Police have warned of strict action against anyone using casteist or abusive language, with authorities also actively monitoring social media platforms using specialised tools. 3 held for Thursday attack P3...
