A Dalit family in the Purnia district of Bihar, which lost a loved one in an assault, is suffering police apathy and now being hounded by Muslim neighbours.
Recurring allegations by Hindus living in Muslim-majority clusters accusing Muslim neighbours of indulging in mob violence on the slightest of provocation or pressuring them to accept Islam should evoke government concern.
Instead, what’s repeatedly seen is that the police, succumbing to mob pressure, file a counter case against the Hindu families and thus evade action on either side.
