NHRC requires Uttar Pradesh police to submit inquiry report on the mishandling of a gang-rape case in Firozabad
The NHRC hauled up UP Police on the poor handling of a gang-rape case in Faridabad, finding that that there was delay in registration of the FIR, poor investigatory follow-up, maligning of the character of the victim, hesitation to arrest the accused persons or even interrogate and also a superficial closure of the case on the basis of character-assassination of the victim. Asserting that every woman has a right to legal protection against the violation of her body, the Commission directed the DIG to assign a team for the recording of victim/complainant statements, her husband and witnesses, as well as medical records. The DIG was also directed to submit a detailed report within 4 weeks.
