Udaipur: A cook was arrested for allegedly asking students to throw the midday food served by two Dalit girls in a government school here. The meal had been cooked by Lala Ram Gurjar in a government upper primary school in Barodi area on Friday.
The students followed the instruction and threw the meal. The girls told their families about the incident upon which they reached the school and demanded action against the cook.
“A case against the cook was registered with Gogunda Police Station under the prevention of SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) act,” NDTV quoted police as saying.
“A prompt action was taken as the matter was found true. Food was thrown by students because Dalit girls served it.
“The cook used to get the food served by the students of his choice who are from upper castes but yesterday, a teacher asked the Dalit girls to serve the food because they were complaining of not being served well,” they said.
