Suspended Bareilly Magistrate Alankar Agnihotri on Monday expressed grave concerns over the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, and demanded its abolition by February 6, threatening a public overthrow of the Central government if the deadline is not met. Agnihotri visited Varanasi on Sunday night at the invitation of Swami Avimukteshwaranand, where he met with the seer to discuss and plan their next steps.
