Low-caste pregnant woman attacked in India over dead cow

An angry mob in India attacked a low-caste pregnant woman and her family for refusing to clear away a cow carcass because of a weeks-long strike against such work, police said Monday.
Sangita Ranawasia, who is five months’ pregnant and from India’s lowest Dalit caste, was recovering in hospital after she and seven family members were beaten with sticks in their village in the western state of Gujarat.
‘Six persons of the upper-caste Darbar community were arrested for assault on a pregnant woman and her family members,’ deputy police superintendent B A Chavda said.
‘The accused are in judicial custody and charges will be framed against them soon,’ said Chavda in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district.
