Panchayat bars man from doing uncle's last rites
A caste panchayat in a Pune district reportedly barred a 55-year-old man, Shankar Dangi, from performing the last rites of his uncle, citing that Dangi's son had married out of the community. While the incident took place on April 8, Dangi, who belongs to the Goud-Brahmin community, lodged a police complaint against six members of the community on Sunday.
