Ex-vice principal jailed for harassing dalit gets bail

(Siasat News)”Sentence is suspended and convict Jain is released on interim bail for a period of 30 days on furnishing of personal bond for a sum of Rs 25,000 with one surety of like amount,” the court said.

The court had given its verdict on a complaint filed by Uttar Pradesh native Surat Singh, who had alleged that Jain had restrained him from doing his job as a waterman and asked him to do cleaning work as he belonged to Jatav scheduled caste community.

The prosecution had said that the very first day when Singh joined the school in December 2007, the then vice principal had asked him about his caste and after coming to know that he belonged to the scheduled caste community, he asked him not to work as a waterman and instead carry out the job of sweeper and cleaner.
