Dalit protests turned violent in parts of Madhya Pradesh on Monday, forcing authorities to impose curfew in many places, police said.
The protests are part of a 'Bharat bandh' called by Dalit organisations against a Supreme Court order diluting The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989.
Violence was reported in Gwalior-Chambal region and Bhind. At one place two groups clashed and pelted each other with stones while several vehicles were also set on fire.
