Rajnath Singh has also sought a report from the state administration.

Allegedly by 9 people, their house was also set on fire belonging to the upper-caste Thakur community in a village in Faridabad district of Haryana.

Dalit victim named as Jitender, 27, who is a registered medical practitioner, and his wife Rekha, 24, with their two children Divya (1) and Vaibhav (2) were inside their home in Sunped village when it was set on fire. While Divya and Vaibhav succumbed to their injuries, Rekha and Jitender, has been admitted to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital, and have sustained severe injuries.
