The ongoing investigation into the sexual harassment of a Dalit athlete in Kerala has led to the detention of 11 additional individuals. This comes as part of the broader scrutiny on the case, which has already sparked protests and demands for justice from various communities and organizations. The athlete, a Dalit, has been at the center of a high-profile harassment case involving several people from influential backgrounds.
Opposition parties are now calling for a CBI investigation into the matter, given the gravity of the charges and the social implications of caste-based violence. Kerala police continue to expand their inquiry and have pledged to ensure a thorough examination of the evidence. The case has ignited discussions about caste-based discrimination and harassment in sports, prompting a broader societal dialogue on the need for greater protections for Dalit athletes.
