Hundred of Dalits on Monday staged a protest against the station house officer of Rupwas police station in Bharatpur for allegedly torturing people of the community.
The protest was led by former Rupwas legislator Nirbhay Lal Jatav outside the office of inspector general of police (Bharatpur range).
They also handed over a memorandum to inspector general of police Alok Vashistha demanding action against the station house officer.
