A week back in Tamil Nadu, India, a Dalit student was attacked by his fellow students for studying well - https://www.newsclick.in/tn-dalit-student-attacked-studying-well-anti-caste-groups-ring-alarm. A group of high school students broke into his home and hacked him with a sickle.
Harrasing the victim's family who are already dealing with a loss is also not new in India. Most times, if the victim's family files a police case/ lodges an FIR to report the crime, the offendor's family slaps a fake case on them and then the police join in in coercing the victim's family to withdraw their case.
