But it was only today, after the media reported on the shocking incident, that the police arrested six men for the attack on the teens. The police was quick to file a case of robbery against them - and place them in a juvenile home, since they can't be arrested because they are under age.
'They started beating us, then the police came and took us away,' said one of the teens, whose identity must be concealed for legal reasons. The assault was filmed by a witness on Saturday.Īfter they were accused of stealing a motorcycle belonging to a man from an upper caste, the teens, all Dalits, were tied to a tree, thrashed, stripped and then paraded naked in the Chittorgarh area of Rajasthan, 350 kilometres from the capital of Jaipur.
