Ultra Dalit outfit in Kerala under scanner

STAFF WRITER 16:41 HRS IST
Thiruvananthapuram, Sept 27 (PTI) Two suspected activists of a Dalit
outfit in Kerala have been taken into custody in connection with the
murder of a 60-year old man in Varkala near here.

A police team, probing the murder case, had also been asked by
higher-ups to look into the activities of the outfit -- Dalit Human
Rights Movement (DHRM), which has reportedly recruited cadres across
the state in last one year.

The intelligence wing of the state police was also looking whether the
DHRM had any links with Maoist outfits outside the state and if its
cadres had been given any kind of arms training, police sources said.

There had been some tension between Dalits and a particular backward
community in Varkala area over the desecration of a statue of a saint
reformer mostly revered by the latter.
