In a shocking incident, a local panchayat (village council) in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan has ordered a village to boycott a family for not organising a customary feast on the death of a member, police said Thursday.
As directed by a lower court, a complaint was filed Wednesday by Ramesh Chand Jatav, a resident of Nagla Bandh Bhagatpura, against 25-30 villagers, including panchayat members, a police official told IANS.
