Today, On 4th May, The Supreme Court criticised Odisha courts for imposing caste-coloured bail conditions requiring Dalit and Adivasi accused to clean police stations, directing all courts nationwide to stop such oppressive practices. The Court called the conditions degrading, humiliating and unconstitutional.
Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor Vijay, has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a dedicated law to curb caste-related honour killings. The plea comes after the brutal murder of Dalit software engineer Kavin Selvaganesh in Tirunelveli.
