NHRC enquiry into Madhyamgram gang-rape case demanded

January 13, 2014 11:47

Lashing out at the West Bengal government for its alleged apathy towards the Madhyamgram gang-rape victim, a state BJP leader has urged the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to conduct a probe into the incident.

"The teenager was a victim of the state's apathy at various levels - the law enforcement agencies, the hospital and the child welfare committee of the district. Not only did the state failed to provide a rape victim security but tried to hush up the incident by trying to hijack the body of the victim," BJP state secretary Ritesh Tiwari said in a letter to NHRC yesterday.
