Decrying the arrests in the Dalit children burning case, a 'mahapanchayat' held here by upper castes on Sunday accused the authorities of bias and "bowing to the pressure of caste politics". The meeting attended by members from different associations of Kshatriyas, Brahmins and Rajputs claimed that the case was not about "inter-caste fight" but was a "feud between two families". The upper caste members demanded that the seven arrested persons be released till the probe is completed. The meeting also asked the authorities to first complete the investigation into the earlier killing of three persons from the family of the accused allegedly by relatives of Jitender, father of the deceased children.
