Etawah Row Deepens: Key Questions Emerge Over Caste, Identity & Molestation Allegations Against Kathavachaks

The Etawah kathavachak incident has taken a sharp turn, triggering a flurry of questions over caste, identity, and morality. Did the assault on religious narrators happen because of their caste? Did these kathavachaks deliberately hide their identities? Were religious sentiments intentionally hurt? Most critically, did these kathavachaks actually harass a woman, or is the controversy being used for political gain? Amid this, the woman who accused the kathavachaks of molestation has now come forward. Her claims have added a fresh twist to an already volatile matter. While interacting with the media, she began recounting the incident but appeared interrupted or confused as she said, “Give me the key… can you hear me? The one on the side isn’t working.” Her unclear statements have raised further doubts and sparked political reactions. The issue has now snowballed into a caste-religious-political flashpoint. Political leaders are accused of using this emotionally charged episode to consolidate vote banks, while the police continue their probe. Meanwhile, both social and religious organizations remain divided in their stance. The core facts are yet to be verified, but this developing story continues to stir intense public and political discourse across Uttar Pradesh.
