A 45-year-old Dalit woman, who was reportedly thrashed by two persons, died on November 27 in Gujarat’s Bhavnagar district.
Geetaben Maru was allegedly assaulted with steel pipes by two persons, who were facing an atrocity case filed by Geetaben’s son against them. She succumbed to her injuries on Monday, said Deputy Superintendent of Police R.R. Singhal.
According to Mr. Singhal, the accused duo had asked Ms. Maru to convince her son to withdraw the case registered against them under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and arrive at a compromise but she declined their offer.
