Rohith declared non-Dalit on just 2 of 7 testimonies: Report
Hyderabad scholar Rohith Vemula was declared an OBC and not a Dalit reportedly on the basis of two testimonies while five of the seven testimonies had claimed he was a Dalit from the Mala caste. "Once Rohith is certified a non-Dalit, those in the dock won't be tried under the more stringent SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act," said an advocate.
