The tension in Virar’s Chikhal Dongri village, where authorities claimed to have dissolved the oppressive acts of the vile caste panchayat, continues to simmer. The entire village appears to be divided, with sympathisers of the caste panchayat reportedly unleashing violence, verbal abuse, assault, property damage, life threats, taunting, and mental torture in the strife-torn community.

The victims in the village are whistleblowers and their relatives who boldly raised their voices to end the oppressive behaviour of the caste panchayat. However, the local police have been procrastinating on addressing the serious issues methodically, only registering Non-Cognisable (NC) offences to allegedly avoid investigating the crimes, according to the victims.
