INDORE: A case was registered on Thursday against a priest and two women for allegedly stopping a Dalit woman from offering prayers at a Shiva temple in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district, police said.
The woman, a college student, alleged that she was not allowed to offer prayers at a public temple at Temla village on Mahashivratri due to her caste.
Casteist slurs were also used against her, she claimed.
A case was registered against the temple priest and two other women under the Prevention of Atrocities (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Act, officials said, adding that nobody has been arrested yet.
