A month after the death of Dalit protester Somnath Suryavanshi in judicial custody triggered political turbulence, Maharashtra's Parbhani district is investigating over 20 complaints related to the incident.

The allegations, spearheaded by Suryavanshi's mother, call for accountability from the police officers linked to the case. A judicial inquiry has been launched into the circumstances of his demise while in custody.
