Dalit student's death: Samatha Sainik Dal holds 'march-past'

Amid protests over the suicide of Dalit research scholar Rohith Vemula, a group of members of Samatha Sainik Dal, an organisation founded by B R Ambedkar for the welfare of Dalits, today held a 'march-past' at Hyderabad Central University.
The group paid tributes to Rohith.
Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, who is undertaking a day-long fast along with agitating students, interacted with the group for sometime.
"Gandhi talked to us about welfare of Dalits", the Dal's Advisor S R Darapuri, a retired IPS officer, said.
