The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has issued notices to the Telangana Chief Secretary, Director-General of Police, city police commissioner and the district collector having taken suo motu cognisance of the murder of a Dalit youth by members of his wife’s family in Hyderabad.
In a communication, NCSC secretary Kaushal Kumar told officials that the Commission has decided to investigate the incident and requested submission of an action-taken report giving full details of the crime, FIR filed, those arrested and compensation given to the victim’s family.
Seeking the information within the stipulated time either through fax or mail, Mr Kumar informed that failure to do so will invite summons for personal appearance by the officials concerned or their representative before the Commission.
