Muzaffarnagar: Dalit man who threatened to convert to Islam attempts suicide

On February 10, Kumar and other members of the Dalit community staged a protest outside the magistrate’s office demanding justice. He alleged that his land has been illegally occupied by some influential people, police said. City magistrate Vaibhav Mishra said a case is pending before a court in connection with the land.

Kumar also handed over a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in which he said he would convert to Islam if authorities failed to act on his plea. He alleged that the local police did not take action in the case despite his repeated appeals.
