Ahmedabad, July 31
A Dalit youth, who had attempted to commit suicide to protest against beating of four from the community for skinning of carcasses by cow vigilantes, died here on Sunday, officials said.
Yogesh, from Parbadi village of Rajkot in Saurashtra, had consumed acid on July 21 over the incident. He was first taken to Rajkot and then Junagadh government hospitals, but when his health deteriorated, he was brought to the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital.
