In Uttar Pradesh, a young man from the Yadav community was beaten to death, allegedly by neighbors belonging to the Thakur community. 

On July 26, the youth, resident of a village in Kaundhiyara area of Prayagraj, had put up a video as his Facebook status. The video had objectionable casteist comments, said Saurabh Dixit, additional SP Yamunapar.

 According to media reports the incident took place in the village of Khuli Bari, in Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh. The village has a balance of Yadav and Thakur populations. Local police have claimed that the village does not have history of caste violence and this could have been a one-off incident. The victim’s family also held a demonstration on July 28, with his body, demanding monetary compensation and a job for one of the family members.

The deceased, who succumbed to his injuries at the hospital, was recognized as 22-year-old Sonu Yadav. Four of the men who allegedly beat him with sticks - Shishu Pal Singh, his sons Preetam Singh and Piyam Singh, and their relative Shyam Singh - were arrested.
