Even as the incident of a group of youngsters urinating on a Dalit youth created a furore in Parliament, the accused have reportedly filed a counter-complaint of ‘eve-teasing’ against the boy on Thursday.
Seven persons had allegedly beaten him up and one of them urinated into 20-year-old Aravindan’s mouth during a temple festival here. They have taken anticipatory bail.
When contacted, Aravindan said, “I was called by the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), and was told that I could be put behind bars based on the counter-complaint.” Incidentally, three weeks after the alleged incident and the filing of revised FIR that did not include the allegation of ‘urination into the boy’s mouth’, the police seem have taken the counter-complaint from the accused. The DSP of Uthangarai had met the victim only on Thursday after several days of the incident and after media reports.
