RS Praveen Kumar, former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader who had announced a fast-unto-death protest over the recent TSPSC paper leak case, has ended his hunger strike after the Telangana government decided to cancel all the leaked exams.

Telangana has won over corrupt ⁦ @TSPSCofficial ⁩ today. I ended my ‘Fast Unto Death’ following the decision to cancel all the leaked exams. But #BSP will continue to fight till the all real culprits in TSPSC are arrested and the inefficient chairman is removed from the post. pic.twitter.com/3Mk4FeJW8p — Dr.RS Praveen Kumar (@RSPraveenSwaero) March 17, 2023

In a tweet, RS Praveen Kumar said, “ Telangana has won over corrupt TSPSC today. I ended my ‘Fast Unto Death’ following the decision to cancel all the leaked exams. But #BSP will continue to fight till all the real culprits in TSPSC are arrested and the inefficient chairman is removed from the post.” RS Praveen Kumar had been leading a campaign against the TSPSC paper leak and had demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. He had also alleged that the paper leak was a part of a larger nexus involving politicians, bureaucrats, and businessmen.

He had accused the state government of not taking adequate measures to prevent such incidents in the future. The TSPSC examination is conducted for the recruitment of various government posts in the state, and the paper leak case has caused widespread outrage and anger among the people. Several political leaders and activists had demanded a thorough investigation into the matter and action against the culprits.

The state government had formed a special investigation team to look into the matter, and several arrests had already been made. However, many activists and leaders had criticized the government’s response and demanded stronger action. While the decision to cancel the exams has been welcomed by many, RS Praveen Kumar and the BSP party have demanded that the government take stronger action against the culprits and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. They have also called for the removal of the TSPSC chairman and for a thorough investigation into the matter. The BSP party has called for a statewide protest against the TSPSC paper leak and demanded justice for the candidates who had been affected by the incident.

Four individuals lost their lives due to suffocation inside a drainage chamber in Baramati tehsil in Pune district of Maharashtra, India on March 15, 2023. The deceased included Praveen Atole , who had entered the chamber to clean a motor pipe clogged with cattle dung and urine. While working, he lost consciousness and his father went in to save him, but also collapsed. Two more people then entered the chamber and also suffocated.

This tragic incident highlights the prevalence of manual scavenging in India and the deep-rooted issue of caste discrimination. Manual scavenging is often performed by members of the Scheduled caste community, despite being prohibited by law in India since 1993.

According to the National Commission for Safai Karamcharis, an estimated 2.5 million people still engage in manual scavenging in India. Many individuals are forced to take on this dangerous profession due to their caste status, poverty, lack of education, and skills.

The deaths of these four individuals in Baramati serve as a stark reminder of the hazards faced by manual scavengers on a daily basis.

A Scheduled Caste family in Delhi has been traumatised after allegedly being brutally attacked by their neighbours. Ramesh Chandra, a member of the family residing in JJ Colony Shakurpur, Delhi, reported that on March 3, 2023, at around 9:30 am, four individuals – Rahul Sain, Hemant Sain, Rohit Sain, and Nitish Sain – forcefully entered their house and assaulted the family with deadly blows. The attackers allegedly hurled casteist slurs at them, indicating their lower caste status and continued to beat them up mercilessly.

Ramesh reported that his father was beaten on the street and that Rahul Sain had even used derogatory words such as “dirty drain worm,” and “low caste” to insult him. The family suffered severe injuries, and some were subjected to obscene acts. An FIR has been filed by the Netaji Subhash Place police station, but it did not include the SC/ST Act or attempt to murder charge, which the family is seeking.

In an interview with Dalit Desk, Ramesh Chandra detailed the attack and the injuries the family sustained. He expressed concern that the attackers were still at large, with Nitish Sain, a bouncer at a gym, sitting outside his house with goons and giving them death threats. Rahul Sain, a lawyer, was also allegedly using his position to intimidate the family.

Ramesh Chandra demanded justice and protection from the police, calling for the attackers to be caught and punished severely under the relevant sections. The incident highlights the urgent need to address and eradicate caste-based discrimination from our society.

A 26-year-old woman doctor named Pamposh, who belonged to the Scheduled Caste, was interning at the Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Vallah, Amritsar. On the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday, she reportedly died by suicide. Her family members have claimed that her colleagues subjected her to casteist slurs, which led to her suicide. Pamposh was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her hostel room, and the police have registered a case of abetment to suicide under the SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

Pamposh’s mother has named two professors and four students, among ten persons in her complaint, accusing them of harassing her daughter with casteist slurs. She alleged that several doctors, including two professors, used to threaten and harass her by making casteist slurs, which greatly disturbed her. Pamposh had confided in her mother that the doctors used to threaten her, saying that they would not allow her to complete her MBBS.

The Vallah police have initiated an investigation into the matter, and the accused doctors have been booked under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for abetment of suicide and Section 3 of the SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The complaint filed against several doctors includes the names of Dr. Bir Davinder Singh, Dr. Pratibha, Professor Swati, Dr. Piyush, Gagandeep Kaur, Prabhnemat, Priyanka, Namisha, Karanbir Singh, and Jimmy Steno.

The incident was discovered when the victim did not respond to her family’s calls for two days. Concerned family members went to the hostel and found her hanging from the ceiling. The police official criticized the hostel and college authorities for their gross negligence for not noticing that she had not come out of her room for two days.

Caste-based discrimination, harassment, and violence are rampant in Indian educational institutions. Pamposh’s case is just the latest example of the discrimination faced by SC students and professionals. Similar cases have been reported from other prestigious institutions such as the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and the University of Hyderabad. The Darshan Solanki suicide case is one such recent example of caste-based discrimination and harassment in educational institutions in India. Solanki, a SC student, died by suicide after facing alleged harassment and caste-based discrimination by his seniors at a college in Gujarat.
