Alleging the caste attack, DU student set to approach HC

A DU student, who alleged that he was attacked by three students over his caste is now planning to approach HC against Delhi Police for “not taking appropriate action against the accused”.Asish Beniwal, a first-year student at Dyal Singh College, was attacked on the February 7 by the three students during the college festival and got 14 stiches. His family said that he has been facing caste-based slurs for the past few months. His father Harish, who belongs to the Balmiki community, said, “Asish was in the canteen when the three boys, in a drunken state, started abusing him. When he and his friends objected, one of the accused took an ice pick and hit my son. They also hit his friends.” The victim identified three students and they have been named in the FIR under IPC sections 341 (wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation).He alleged: “Instead of adding sections of attempt to murder and caste-based attack, police let off the three offenders. So, I am moving court.”When contacted, DCP (south) Romil Baaniya said, “During initial investigation, no such allegation was made by the complainant. We will look into the allegations if the student files a complaint, before adding new sections to the FIR.”
