Hindustan Times  

LUCKNOW A special court in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday sentenced three men to death for the massacre of 24 Dalit people in 1981, bringing the curtain down on a grisly crime where a gang led by Thakur dacoits targeted villagers 44 years ago, on the suspicion that they were police informers. As it falls in the ‘rarest of rare’ category, capital punishment has been awarded,” said additional district judge Indira Singh in an open court while passing the order. A gang of 17 dacoits led by Santosh Singh, alias Santosha, and Radhey Shyam, alias Radhey, dressed in khakis stormed Dehuli village on November 18, 1981.They targeted Dalit families, gunning down 24 people, including toddlers aged six months and two years, respectively. During the trial, Laik Singh told the court that around a year before the incident, police arrested two members of the Santosh and Radhey Shyam gang from Dehuli village after an encounter.
