Dalit couple in Rajasthan denied entry into temple, priest booked Last Updated : 25 Apr 2022 03:18:28 PM IST While the country is celebrating 'Amrit Mahotsav' on the completion of 75 years of Independence, societal evils like untouchability and social boycott still exist here.

This led to an argument between some youths, who were accompanying the couple, and the priest.
