Rajasthan: 'Stopped' from meeting Krishna Valmiki's family, BJP leaders stage sit-in protest

A three-members panel of Rajasthan BJP leaders was allegedly stopped from meeting the family of Dalit youth Krishna Valmiki, who was allegedly murdered on July 1. The BJP leaders were stopped by the district administration as Section 144 of CrPC was in force in the district, sources said.

Leaders of BJP's Rajasthan unit staged a sit-in protest on the national highway after they claimed that they were allegedly denied from meeting the family of Dalit youth Krishna Valmiki. Krishna Valmiki, a member of the Valmiki community, was attacked in the Jhalawar district of Rajasthan on July 1 and later died due to the merciless beating.
