The couple told the police that community members were demanding Rs 2 lakh from them
An inter-caste couple in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh has alleged their five-year-old child was not being allowed to play with other children in their village.
In another case of discrimination, a constable who was stopped from riding a horse to his wedding eventually managed to ride one under police protection in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district. This was the third case in a month in the state when a Dalit groom was stopped from riding a horse to their wedding.
Both areas come under the Bundelkhand region, considered to be one of the poorest.
In the first matter, police constable Dayachand was to get married on February 9. The preparations for the wedding were almost complete, but just as he was leaving his house on a horse, some upper caste people stopped him. They stopped the wedding band too and chased away the DJ.
