The incident was described in the court’s 209-page verdict in which it convicted 33 Jats for the crime in Haryana’s Mirchpur. New Delhi: The barking of a dog, belonging to a member of the Dalit community, at a group of inebriated Jat youths who were passing through the village was the trigger for the Mirchpur Dalit killings, according to the Delhi high court. It noted that the incident dates back to the evening of 19 April, 2010, when a group of Jat youths were returning through the Mirchpur village and a villager’s dog barked at them to which the Jats took offence and started throwing stones at the pet. The next day, that is 20 April, 2010, a large number of youths from the Jat community gathered in the village, leading to apprehensions of an attack among the Dalit community, the Court noted. The judgement noted that after some time, a large number of Jats, armed with ’lathis’, jellies, stones, oil cans and petrol came to the village and started pelting stones towards the Dalit residents.
