Two harrowing stories of brutality emerge from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as a 25-year-old Dalit woman is found dead in Agra, allegedly murdered by a police constable. Similarly, in Bihar's Sitamarhi, public outrage rises as a police inspector is under investigation for assaulting a Dalit woman at a marketplace.

The nine-year-old girl was allegedly killed and raped at the hands of her landlord in Ghaziabad. The accused is now in custody as authorities continue the investigation and try to locate her body.

Murder, violence, discrimination and humiliation is what Dalits continue to face today, from the rural lands of UP to the hallowed land of Ayodhya to cities of Kerala even known for more progressive values; the violence against Dalits continues, unabated through the first half of September 2023.
