The Haryana government has decided to set up a three-member panel to review the police cases filed in connection with violence during the April 2 "Bharat Bandh" called by Dalits to protest the alleged dilution of the SC/ST Act.
At a programme to mark the birth anniversary of Dalit icon B R Ambedkar, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the committee would review all the cases and "the guilty would be punished and innocent people would be let off".
An IAS officer, an IPS officer and a public representative would be members of the committee, he said.
Referring to the incidents of violence on April 2, he said, "A section of society was demonstrating peacefully in the state when some anti-social elements infiltrated and tried to disturb the law and order situation."
