A Hasthpur family from Aligarh’s Iglas region, led by Vishnu and his parents Chandrawati and Chandrapal, filed 16 SC/ST cases over 15 years, claiming police inaction, while officials state they received lakhs in compensation. The repeated cases have now prompted a formal investigation by a three-member National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) panel in Uttar Pradesh.
The Supreme Court ordered the Tamil Nadu Government to submit all correspondence related to the sanction to prosecute ex-minister V Senthil Balaji. The victims sought a Special Public Prosecutor, a special investigation team, and completion of the trial within a year. The state government claimed no responsibility for the delay and proposed a review of the records.
