On those Dalit boys stripped and beaten in Rajasthan

On the night of April 4th, Shoeb Khan a reporter with the Times of India tweeted about three minor Dalit boys being stripped naked and beaten by a mob in Bassi block of Chittorgarh district in Rajasthan along with a picture. The picture showed three scrawny boys, looking younger than their purported age of 16-7 years, completely naked on the ground surrounded by men in pants, one appearing to charge towards the boys. Irrespective of the context, the picture was disturbing because it captured the indignity and vulnerability of the boys because of the obvious disparity of power between the boys and men in that moment. I did not want to retweet that picture but got in touch with the reporter to find out more about the incident.
