NHRC seeks report on 5-year-old’s death

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to the chief secretary, Delhi Development Authority, and city police commissioner regarding the death of a five-year-old boy. The incident occurred when a damaged entry gate fell on him. The victim’s family and residents of the colony claim that no action was taken despite their complaints. The NHRC has asked for detailed reports within four weeks and requested information on relief given to the family and actions taken against responsible officials. The commission has also sought clarification on the contradiction between the police version and eyewitness accounts.
