Faridabad Dalit Assault: Family Denied Security and License
A young man named Sahil was badly hurt and had his head shaved in an attack.
His family says they haven't received any help or protection from the police.
The police haven't given them a gun for protection.
The police say they don't think the family is in danger, so they aren't providing security.
The family is upset and feels the police aren't taking their safety seriously.
Family of a Dalit youth, assaulted in June, says police denied security and a gun license.
Sahil, 18, suffered fractures, internal bleeding, and brain injuries in the alleged assault.
Police arrested the prime accused, 19, and two minors following a complaint.
