However during the function, the Dalit children were not allowed to participate in the party, instead they were verbally insulted in the public by the children from the Patel community. At this juncture Veeru requested the children of the Patel community not to insult them and that they do not care if they were not allowed to participate. However, the children from the Patel community allegedly continued with their insult and later assaulted Veeru. Raju and Chhannu ran away from the scene. Raju and Chhannu informed Veeru\'s parents that the children from the Patel community were assaulting Veeru. Veeru\'s mother rushed to the spot and tried to reason with the Patel community. However, she was too insulted in public and was chased away from the scene along with Veeru. The following day, the members of the Patel community teased the girls from the Dalit community on their way back home. They went back home and complained to their parents. Following this incident the members of the Dalit community tried to reason with the members of the Patel community and requested them not to tease their girl. This did not however workout and soon a quarrel erupted between the members of the two communities. Soon after this, on the same day, the members of the Patel community went to the house of Shankar, a Dalit, and beat him up along with his daughter Roma and Rupa. The girls rushed into the house while Shankar was beaten up outside the house.

The same day evening on March 28, the Station Officer from the Cholapur police station came to the Dalits\' house at about 9pm. The Dalit community showed the officer the house that was under attack and also the stones and bricks pelted at the house and the damage it has caused to the house. The officer however, did not record any statement, but allegedly shouted at the Dalits saying that they were making up a case against the Patels. At that time Mr. Paras and Mr. Ram Shakal, two Dalits, came to the scene. They are cart pullers and they were not present when the incidents happened. But the police officer allegedly took them to the police station along with two members of the Patel community. The next day morning, the officer allegedly started assaulting Paras and Ram and they were both charge sheeted along with 10 other members of the Dalit community under Sections 107, 116 of the Indian Penal Code and 151 [arrest to prevent the commission of cognizable offense] of the Criminal Procedure Code.

In the meantime, the rest of the accused who were charge sheeted were scott free. FIR has not been registered from the either party.
