Gohana burning from The Pioneer
"In one of the worst ever instances of a pogrom in Haryana, upper caste Jat villagers in the small industrial town of Gohana burnt down 54 homes belonging to Balmiki Dalits on August 31. Though no one was hurt, the 2,000 Dalit families living in Balmiki Basti fled immediately, fearing for their lives. According to reports, the damage was done by a mob of about a 1,000 carrying lathis, sambals and petrol cans.
The following Thursday morning smoke continued to spiral out of what was left of the homes. Littered in the midst of the debris were water coolers, televisions and refrigerators. The burning of the Dalit homes was traced back to the murder of a Jat financier called Baljit. The murder took place on August 27. One of the men accused of the murder, Lara, belonged to the Balmiki Dalit community. After the murder, a mahapanchayat of 52 nearby villages was held on the last two days of August, demanding that the men accused of the murder be arrested.
As the mahapanchayat was still underway, a rumour spread that Lara's name had been deleted from the FIR. A mob collected and marched on the Dalit homes, setting them on fire. "
...
"Hooda blamed the Opposition for having instigated the incident in view of the Rohtak Lok Sabha by-election to be held on September 23. Later in the evening, a Left parties delegation led by CPI(M) MP Brinda Karat visited the area, condemning the burning of Dalit homes."
