Poor, disenfranchized people resort to such violence because of perverse indifference and inaction by corrupt uncaring cops who not just cozy up the upper-castes, but are blatantly biased against Dalits to the point of criminality. Worse, the netas of the land condone such egregious behaviour, as the cops are their creatures, their personal army of thugs - the cops know this and feel free to do as they like, since they have the protection of the head honchos, no less, from the CM on down.
