KHAIRLANJI MASSACRE, MAHARASHTR­A (2006):

-

On September 29, 2006, four members of the Bhotmange family belonging to a Dalit caste were murdered by a mob of 40 people belonging to the Maratha Kunbi caste (OBC) in the small village of Khairlanji in Maharashtr­a. The women of the family, Surekha and Priyanka, were paraded naked in public before being murdered. Enraged by a police complaint lodged the previous day by Surekha over a land dispute, the mob dragged out Surekha, her daughter and two of her sons, paraded them naked in the village, sexually abused them and then hacked them to death.
