The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Wednesday issued notice to the West Bengal government over the illegal recording of National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) enquiry into a case, and assault on the team by the police in Kolkata.
The matter pertains to a suspicious death of a seven-year girl in the Tiljala area of Kolkata. It is alleged that police officials obstructed the enquiry by the NCPCR team, led by its Chairperson on March 31.
The members of the team were allegedly physically assaulted and were threatened when they protested against the police for recording on camera, in contravention of law, their conversation with the victim’s parents as part of the enquiry.
