The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognisance of a disturbing case of caste-based violence in Odisha’s Ganjam district.


The Commission has issued notices to the state’s Chief Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP), seeking a detailed report on the incident within two weeks.

The move comes after two Dalit men, Bulu Nayak and Babula Nayak from Singipur village, were reportedly subjected to severe physical and mental torture. The victims were returning home after purchasing cows for a family wedding on June 22 when they were intercepted at Kharigumma village under Dharakote police limits.

According to the allegations, a group of individuals accused the men of cattle smuggling and then proceeded to assault them. The victims were allegedly forced to crawl on their knees for nearly two kilometres, had their heads partially tonsured, and were coerced into eating grass and drinking drainage water—actions that constitute gross human rights violations.

In response, Odisha police have arrested at least eight persons in connection with the case. However, the NHRC has demanded clarity on the steps taken against the culprits and any compensation offered to the victims.

The incident has triggered outrage across civil society, with many urging stronger protection measures for marginalised communities and swift judicial intervention to ensure justice.

This case brings to light the ongoing struggles of Dalits in India and underlines the urgent need for systemic reforms and cultural accountability to protect their rights and dignity.
