What began as a land grab by local agriculturalists ended in the rape and mutilation of 44-year-old Surekha Bhotmange and her teenaged student daughter, Priyanka, and the brutal murder of Surekha's two sons, Roshan and Sudhir, ages 19 and 21, respectively. By all accounts, this was an upwardly mobile Dalit family. 1 Sudhir was a graduate. He worked as a laborer with his visually impaired brother to earn extra money. Priyanka had completed high school at the top of her class. However, the family was paraded naked, beaten, stoned, sexually abused, and then murdered by a group of men from the Kunbi and Kalar agricultural castes. Surekha and her daughter, Priyanka, were bitten, beaten black and blue, and gang-raped in full public view for an hour before they died. Iron rods and sticks were later inserted in their genitalia. The private parts and faces of the young men were disfigured. "When the dusk had settled, four bodies of this dalit family lay strewn at the village choupal [square], with the killers pumping their fists and still kicking the bodies. The rage was not over. Some angry men even raped the badly mutilated corpses of the two women" (Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti 2006). The bodies were later scattered at the periphery of the village. 608 social research
