What Happened
Nearly a decade after the Una flogging incident where four Dalit youths were assaulted by cow vigilantes in Gujarat, victims report increased fear following a March court verdict that convicted only five of forty accused while acquitting thirty-five, including three police officials. The victims, from the Sarvaiya family, now avoid traveling and neighboring villages.
