The committee concludes that the State government exhibited apathy towards the victims and that there was “retributive violence” by Trinamool Congress supporters.
The National Human Rights Commission committee formed to probe complaints of post-poll violence in West Bengal has recommended that cases of heinous crimes be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation. In its report to the Calcutta High Court on Monday, the panel said it received 1,979 complaints covering over 15,000 victims during its enquiry, which included visiting the State from June 24 to July 10. “A large number of cases related to murders, rapes, molestation and vandalism received from local sources in West Bengal while the teams were camping there,” the report said.More Related News
