Ramgarh, Rajasthan, India 
9 March, 2025
Case Summary
In Goha village, located in the Ramgarh Tehsil of Rajasthan, a Dalit family, led by a man named Ratan Jatav, was attacked by a Muslim mob. The attackers used sticks, rods, and sharp weapons, resulting in injuries to seven members of the Dalit family. According to media reports, two individuals were seriously injured in the attack. Ratan Jatav sustained an injury near his eye, which caused damage to his eye. The local Dalit community demanded justice from the authorities. They organised a rally to protest the attack on the Dalit family and marched to the SDM's office, where a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister and Home Minister was submitted to SDM Surendra Prasad. Following this, they proceeded to the DSP's office and urged DSP Sunil Kumar Sharma to arrest the accused. The police arrested five individuals in connection with the case and conducted multiple raids to apprehend the remaining suspects. However, the many accused are still absconding. The police assured the public that the remaining accused would also be arrested. Former Sarpanch Kamalchand Jatav stated that a meeting was held by the Dalit community to demand justice and the arrest of those responsible for the brutal attack on Ratan Jatav's family in Goha village.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been placed in the Undecided category, as the currently available evidence does not conclusively establish a communal or hate-driven motive, despite several aspects raising significant concern. The incident occurred in Goha village, Ramgarh Tehsil, Rajasthan, where a Dalit Hindu family, led by Ratan Jatav, was attacked by a group of Muslims using sticks, rods, and sharp weapons, resulting in injuries to seven members of the family, including serious eye damage to Ratan Jatav. While the precise trigger for the attack remains unclear from available reports, the scale and nature of the violence — involving multiple armed attackers targeting a single family — is deeply troubling. The swift mobilisation of the local Dalit community in protests and the demand for urgent action further underscores the gravity of the situation. However, no communal slogans, religious slurs, or explicit hate-driven statements have been reported so far. With several accused still absconding and the police investigation ongoing, it would be premature to definitively classify the incident as a hate crime at this stage. Therefore, the case is being documented in the Undecided category. Should evidence of communal intent or hate-driven motivation emerge, it will be reclassified under the Hate Crime Database. Disclaimer: The case mentions that between 20 to 25 perpetrators were involved in the attack, but does not provide an exact number. For documentation purposes, we have recorded a maximum count of 25 perpetrators in the database. Disclaimer: It is important to clarify that the report does not specify the exact date when the victims were attacked. Therefore, for documentation purposes, we have recorded the date based on when the incident was reported in the media.
