　　由於欠15盧比（約合22美分、16便士），印度北方邦一名「達利特」 種姓男子和他的妻子被砍死。

　　Police said the couple were murdered by an upper caste grocer on Thursday when they told him they needed time to pay for biscuits they had bought from him.

　　Dalits, formerly known as untouchables, form the lowest rung of India』s caste hierarchy.

　　達利特，即賤民階層，在印度種姓制度中處於最底層。

　　Police told the Press Trust of India news agency the incident took place in Mainpuri district early on Thursday as the couple were on their way to work.

　　警方告訴印度報業托拉斯，此事於上周四一早發生在邁恩布里，當時這對夫婦正在去上班的路上。

　　They were stopped by Ashok Mishra, the owner of a village grocery, who demanded that the couple pay the money for three packets of biscuits that they had bought for their three children a few days ago, reports say.

　　他們被村裡的雜貨店主阿肖克.米什拉攔住，要求二人還錢。幾天前他們在這兒給三個孩子買了三袋麵包。他們懇求遲些再還，惹惱了米什拉。

　　The couple reportedly told him they would pay after they received their daily wages later in the evening.

　　據稱，夫婦二人懇求他說，待晚上拿到當天的工錢后就還。

　　"While Mishra kept shouting for the money, the couple started walking towards the fields. Mishra then ran to his house nearby and returned with an axe. He hacked Bharat repeatedly and then attacked Mamta who was trying to rescue her husband. The couple died on the spot," Nadeem, a local villager, told The Indian Express newspaper.

　　當地村民納迪姆在接受印度快報採訪時說，「米什拉一直生氣地大聲叫嚷，這對夫婦就開始往田野上走。然後米什拉就跑回到他在附近的房子，抄起一把斧頭出來了。他先是不停的砍丈夫巴拉特，妻子馬姆塔打算過來營救，也被襲擊。二人當場死亡。」

　　The Dalit community in the village have blocked roads and protested over the incident.
