Jaipur:
Cases have been registered against members of a caste council in a
village in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district which ordered residents
to ostracise a family disobeying a diktat to withdraw a dowry
harassment complaint, police said Saturday.
The caste council threatened to slap a cash fine of Rs.2 lakh on
anyone in the village who mingled with the ostracised family, they
added. Police registered cases against 40 members of the council
Friday.
According to police, the incident took place at Padampura village
in the district, some 250 km from Jaipur.
"Jagganath Dhakar has registered a first information report (FIR)
with the police. Dhakar said that he had registered a dowry
harassment case against seven in-laws of his daughter when she was
forced to leave their house for not meeting their dowry demands,"
said a police officer.
The officer said that the in-laws approached the caste council
members in Padampura.
"Dhakar says that the caste council members held a public meeting
in the village about a week ago and pressurised him to withdraw
the case. When he refused to follow the order, the council ordered
the villagers to ostracize him and his entire family," the officer
said.
"As per the orders, a resident would have to pay Rs.2 lakh to the
council if he or she is found speaking with the ostracised family
members. The family was prohibited from buying even grocery items
from shops in the village," the officer added.
