“When he got here final month, he informed me, and mom-dad, that there is caste discrimination occurring there. His mates got here to know that he belongs to Scheduled Castes, so their behaviour in the direction of him modified. They stopped speaking to him, they stopped hanging out with him,” his sister Jhanvi Solanki mentioned.
“He was in misery, he was being tortured. That is why he did this,” his mom Tarlikaben Solanki mentioned.
