Taking cognizance of the killing of a Dalit boy by his school teacher for drinking from a pot of water meant for him in Rajasthan’s Jalore district, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes on Sunday issued notice to the State government and State police and appointed one of its members to visit the spot for an investigation.
Vijay Sampla, Chairman, NCSC, on Sunday said Member Subhash Ramnath Pardhi had been assigned to visit the spot to begin the investigation on August 16. “We will investigate this case very seriously and after investigation will ensure strict action against the guilty,” Mr. Sampla said.
Earlier in the day, the Chairman said that the Commission had received a letter from Bharatiya Janata Party National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, seeking that the NCSC form a team to visit the spot and investigate the matter.
