New Delhi, Oct 30: A local court will deliver its verdict on Monday, Oct 31, against the 15 convicts who were found guilty for burning alive a 70-year-old Dalit man and his physically-challenged daughter in April last year at Mirchpur village in Haryana's Hissar district.

A clash broke out between Jat and Dalit community after which the Jat community attacked on Dalit people.
