more-inA Dalit family at mini Kambalapalli in Chintamani taluk in Chickballapur district has sought police protection alleging threat from some members of its community. Shivanna of mini Kambalapalli was threatening her and her son B. Jagadish and not allowing them to enter the village. “Jagadish is actively associated with the organisations which demanded and fought for justice to Dalits in Kambalapalli carnage case. We are now residing in a village in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh,” Mr. Jagadish told The Hindu over telephone. There is no truth in the claims of either Kumaramma or her son,” Mr. Krishnamurthy said.
