A Dalit man of Chededaha Village Council in Bajura district has been fined Rs 2000 for touching a cowshed belonging to a person from so-called upper class.

Prem Bahadur Bk of Chededaha-1 was fined with the amount by Rajendra Bahadur Singh of Bidari village in the same village council.

A group of election publicity campaigners had passed through Singh's house when he verbally abused BK and was adamant on receiving the amount from BK.
