21 innocent people, mostly Dalits were gunned down by a private army of upper-caste landed gentry in Bathani Tola, Bihar, in July 1996. A plaque at the memorial lists the victims, among them were women, children and infants. Almost 30 years later, survivors still wait for justice, with the case pending before the SC.
