4. Dalit killed in lock-up at Kurnool
5. 7 Dalits burnt alive in caste clash
6. Dalit woman gang-raped, paraded naked
7. Police egged on mob to lynch Dalits.
8. Dalits are not allowed to drink from the same wells, attend the same temples,wear shoes in the presence of an upper caste, or drink from the same cups intea stalls
