The officials, however, say about 40 houses were burnt. The attack was apparently in retaliation for the murder of a Jat on Sunday. The police has finally registered a case against a BJP MP&#8217;s son and brother after Dalits in the area alleged local politicians could be involved. As a result of today&#8217;s incident, the situation is tense in the village.  Fearing an attack after four men from the community were picked up by the police soon after the murder of a Jat, close to 2,000 Dalit families who live in Gohana had left their homes on Monday. The local police confirm that this is a case of revenge. But they only arrived in the village after the houses were set on fire, 48 hours after the exodus. &#8220;Some people of the Balmiki Village had committed a murder of a man from a neighboring village,&#8221; said A K Roy, SSP, Sonipat. &#8220;We have rounded up about four people in the case had also been called. Their meeting was going on today. I was on the way with the DC. In the meantime some miscreants collected there. They were motivated, and they burnt some houses of the village,&#8221; he added. The incident highlights once again how deep rooted caste violence in the country is and how it can force 1000 families to leave their village.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.ndtv.com HARYANA, INDIA, August 31, 2005: In one of the worst ever instances of caste violence in Haryana, upper caste,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5556\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
