NHRC, India takes suo motu cognizance of the reported parading of three persons in a semi-nude condition by police in Kolkata, West Bengal

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports regarding the police parading three arrested individuals in a semi-nude condition with ropes tied around their waists in Kolkata, West Bengal. According to the report, the three individuals, including a girl's father, her maternal uncle, and his friend, were brought to the locality and made to walk shirtless and barefoot for crime scene reconstruction following an incident where an 18-year-old youth and his friend were assaulted and humiliated. The NHRC observed that these allegations, if true, raise serious human rights violations and has issued a notice to the Kolkata Police Commissioner requesting a detailed report within two weeks.
