Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday termed the torture of two young Dalits in Rajasthan's Nagaur as "horrific and sickening" and asked his party government in the state to take immediate action to bring the perpetrators to book.
The video of the two Dalit men being thrashed has become viral on social media.
"The recent video of two young Dalit men being brutally tortured in Nagaur, Rajasthan is horrific and sickening. I urge the state Government to take immediate action to bring the perpetrators of this shocking crime to justice," he said on Twitter.
