The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Friday issued a notice to the Director General of Police (DGP), Andhra Pradesh on the alleged foisting of a theft case against a Dalit domestic help who worked in the Chittoor jail superintendent Venugopal Reddy’s house.
Responding to a complaint lodged by TDP politburo member Varla Ramaiah, the NHRC directed the DGP to order an independent inquiry into the ‘violation of the rights of the domestic maid Umamaheswari’ by an IG-level officer. The DGP was also asked to send the IG’s report in four weeks.
