The family members of the woman had allegedly beaten up Harish brutally which led to his death at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.Harish's wife alleged that the police personnel harassed her father-in-law Ratiram, a blind man, leading him to commit suicide on Thursday night, and demanded action against the responsible cops.The Dalit family continued their protest to press for their demands and refused to cremate Ratitam's body even 60 hours after his death on Sunday.They alleged that Harish had received serious head injuries due to the beating, which resulted in his death."I have four children and fifth is in my womb. I along with my children will commit suicide if the police do not take immediate action against the responsible police officials and the accused in the case," Rekha said while speaking to .The family has also demanded Rs 1 crore and five bigha land as compensation and a job for the woman.

He consumed poison as he saw no hope ahead," Dinesh said.Local MLA Sandeep Yadav has alleged that the government is ready for an investigation into Harish's death and also a departmental probe against police officials. The BJP leaders were misleading the family and not letting them cremate the body, Yadav claimed."BJP leaders are playing politics in the matter on the directions of senior party leaders. They want to portray the incident as Pehlu Khan lynching case as the accused in the case is Muslim," he told .The BSP legislator also said that the government was offering a job of an Anganbadi worker to Harish's wife.BJP MP Mahant Balaknath, who joined the agitating family on Saturday, alleged that the police were not taking action even a month after the incident as "the accused belongs to a particular community".Alwar Superintendent of police has said that an investigation is underway in the case.On Sunday, more police personnel were deployed in the town.An FIR under Section 302 (murder) and other relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered in Harish's murder case.
