The murder of a Dalit youth in Himachal Pradesh's Chamba district has sparked a political controversy, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanding a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the incident and the ruling Congress government accusing the opposition of trying to score political points. The victim's body was cut into eight pieces and dumped in a sewer, leading to protests and the torching of the house of the family suspected to be behind the killing. The state BJP chief said that the party will hold dharnas at all district headquarters and submit a memorandum to the governor through the deputy commissioners.
