The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on Thursday recommended the Tamil Nadu government to pay a compensation of ₹50,000 to a woman from Chennai and held that the Inspector of Police Suriyalingam, formerly attached to Ashok Nagar Police Station, had violated the human rights of the complainant.
SHRC member V. Kannadasan also recommended the State government to recover ₹50,000 from the respondent Inspector as per rules. The Commission wanted the State government to initiate disciplinary action against him.
The complainant, A. Kasthuri, submitted that she was residing in her house in West Mambalam with her husband for over 44 years. On March 10, a woman, Rukmani, claiming to have relationship with the complainant’s husband trespassed into her house with the help of the Inspector, who was then attached to the Ashok Nagar Police Station.
