Satya rushed, carried the serving bucket with dal and proceeded towards that person. At that point, one upper caste person shouted at him, “How dare you touch the food stuff being a Pana (Caste of the victim)?” The dominant caste person followed up with more abuses and slapped him. Some more upper caste persons joined and roughed up the victim. One threatened to murder him. The dalit elders rescued Satya Priyabrata
from more atrocities.
