| New Delhi, June 29: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today issued notice to the home ministry over pictures showing security men carrying the bodies of Maoists, including women, with their hands and feet tied to bamboo poles.
Taking suo motu cognizance of media reports, the human rights body has asked the home secretary to submit a factual report on the matter by July 27.
"The photos were published on June 18 and it was alleged that they were taken following an anti-Naxal operation in West Midnapore, West Bengal. The report, if true, raises a serious issue of violation of human rights of the victims," the NHRC said in a statement. (IANS) |
