Students at the University of Hyderabad staged a relay hunger strike demanding justice for a Dalit student, Anuj, who was allegedly subjected to casteist slurs and violence.
The FIR was lodged following a complaint by the Viduthalai Chiruthagai Katchi (VCK), a political party supporting the Dalit cause and led by Member of Parliament, Thol Thirumavalavan.
The bench comprising Justices Hemant Gupta and V. Ramasubramanian said: "You say you are a woman but tell us if women have any better rights than men or they also have equal rights?"
