Boricha was killed by 10 people who barged into his house and attacked him with sharp weapons on Tuesday. The murder was a fall-out of an eight-year-old dispute over settling the atrocity complaint he had lodged against some of them. Arvind Makwana, district coordinator of Navsarjan Trust, a human rights organization said, “He was very active in Dalit movements and that’s why the family decided to perform his last rites with Buddhist rituals.” A condolence meeting for Boricha is planned on March 14 in which victims of oppression by upper caste from all over the state are expected to join. “There are many people who wanted to come to express their condolences and we received several phone calls from other victims also. So, we decided to organize public tribute function on March 14 in which all these people will remain present,” said Mavji Sarvaiya, a local Dalit leader.
