Photos of a deserted area in Kalyan east where residents have fled because of the hounding and combing operations by the police.
Lawyers have moved for bail in nine of these cases but so far the Orders have not been passed by the local Kalyan court.

The vindictive action is seen as a fallout of the bandh that followed the Bhima Koregaon violence against Dalits on January 1. In Kalyan, unlike other parts aggression between the Shiv Sena controlled Agri Sena and Dalit bastis resulted. It is alleged that while a police station was beateb up by Agris in the violence, Dalits are being hounded and victimized. More than 95 persons are wanted and absconding from this deserted areas.


Reports of dozens of such detentions and arrests in ‘false’ cases by Dalits from all over Maharashtra are coming in.
