NHRC Demands Probe in Train Incident Involving Army Personnel in Rajasthan

The National Human Rights Commission has raised concerns about an alleged killing of army personnel on a moving train in Rajasthan. A notice has been issued to the Railway Board Chairman and the Director General of the Railway Protection Force, seeking a detailed inquiry and report within two weeks.

According to the case proceedings dated November 6, a complaint by the Sahyadri Rights Forum claims that a coach attendant is involved in the incident. The forum urges the NHRC's intervention for an impartial investigation, punishment for those responsible, and justice for the victim's family.

The NHRC bench, led by member Priyank Kanoongo, under Section 12 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, demands an inquiry into the procedures for hiring attendants, including police verification. An action report on these processes, along with details of the attendant's qualifications, is also requested.
