A shocking case of caste-based discrimination has surfaced in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district, where Parshottam Kushwaha, an OBC man, was allegedly forced to wash the feet of a Brahmin, Annu Pandey, and drink the water as punishment for “insulting” him. The act, captured in a viral video, has triggered widespread outrage and led to a police FIR under sections relating to promoting enmity between communities. The dispute reportedly began after Parshottam shared an AI-generated image of Annu Pandey wearing a garland of shoes, which he later deleted and apologised for. Under community pressure, he was humiliated publicly, fined INR 5,100, and made to apologise. Both men have since urged people not to politicise the issue, calling it a “mutual matter.” Authorities are investigating the caste atrocity angle amid growing social media backlash.
