Teen Dalit Activist Hails Detention of Far-Right Figure Who Boasted of Attack

Far-right activist Swatantra Bhardwaj has been detained following renewed attention on remarks he made during a podcast. In the recording, Bhardwaj boasted that he had faced no legal consequences despite allegedly 'cracking the skull' of a Dalit activist's father. The detention has been welcomed by the teenage Dalit activist whose family was targeted, who described it as a first step toward justice. The case has drawn scrutiny over the lack of earlier legal action against Bhardwaj despite his public admission of the alleged act.
