Jaipur: A Dalit man was allegedly beaten to death by a group of youths after a tiff over a poster with BR Ambedkar's photograph put up outside his house in Rajasthan's Hanumangarh district, police said on Wednesday.
On 24 May, Anil Sihag and Rakesh Sihag tore the poster put up outside the house of Vinod Bamnia, 22, a Bhim Army member, they said.
