The 23-year-old man jumped in front of a moving train in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district after he spotted a constable beating his father at a police station.
The National Human Rights Commission issued a notice to Chhattisgarh police chief on Thursday over the suicide of a man after his father was allegedly beaten up by a police personnel. The Commission said the incident amounted to 'violation of the right to life and dignity of victims'.
The 23-year-old man jumped in front of a moving train in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district after he spotted a constable beating his father at a police station.
"The son suffered humiliation when he saw his father being beaten up by the police and committed suicide out of embarrassment. A precious human life has been lost due to the apparent insensible and inhuman approach of the police personnel," an NHRC statement read.
"The Commission has issued a notice to the Director General of Police, Chhattisgarh, calling for a detailed report in the matter within four weeks, including action taken against the police personnel responsible and whether any relief has been granted to the aggrieved family," the statement added.
