Kathmandu: A group of so-called upper-cast attacked and injured around two dozen dalits (Musahars) at Mahadevpur in Saptari last week torching their houses, local officials said. The incident was triggered after a dalit child trespassed on a farm belonging to a Mandal. Mandals set up roadblocks and prevented the injured from being rushed to hospital.
