A few days ago, a video circulated on social media, alleging that a Dalit girl was kicked and subjected to casteist slurs by the police station in-charge at Inhauna police station in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. The incident was supposedly triggered by the girl sitting on a chair in the police station.
The video was widely shared by several accounts, including @analp_chandra, @ajad_party, @ourright21, @bhimarmyup36, @manojjatavasp and @manojpasiraj245. They claimed that the Dalit girl was kicked and abused by the Amethi Police station in-charge Kanchan Singh for sitting on a chair in the police station. The girl allegedly fell unconscious and experienced severe stomach pain and difficulty walking after the incident.

The Fact
Amethi Police clarified the situation via their official Twitter handle. They stated that there was a domestic dispute between two parties, which was resolved amicably at the police station in the presence of prominent persons from both sides. Moreover, they further stated that allegations of abuse put up by a Dalit girl against the Amethi police were untrue and baseless, and were made under someone’s influence. In addition, they emphasized that there was no caste-based discrimination involved in the incident.
दो पक्षों के मध्य घरेलू बात को लेकर कहासुनी हुई थी, जिसको लेकर दोनों पक्ष थाने गए थे जो सम्भ्रांत व्यक्तियों के समक्ष आपस में सुलह समझौता कर लिए थे। किसी के बहकावे में आकर पुलिस पर आरोप लगाया गया है जो असत्य एवं निराधार है।
