The apex child rights body NCPCR on Saturday urged governments of States that witnessed "communal protests" over remarks made by two now-sacked BJP functionaries against Prophet Mohammad to recommend an NIA probe into the use of children in the violence.
The use of children in last week's violence may have been coordinated by dubious organisations, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairperson Priyank Kanoongo alleged in a tweet in Hindi.
The NCPCR has urged the State governments to recommend to the Centre a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the matter, he said.
