New Delhi: The
National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) will send a team to
investigate the alleged rape and killing of a minor girl in the
compound of a police station in Uttar Pradesh, an official said
Sunday.
"We have taken suo motu cognisance of media reports alleging that
a teenaged girl was raped and killed in Lakhimpur Kheri district
of Uttar Pradesh," an NHRC official said.
"Apart from an on-the-spot inquiry, we have also decided to issue
notice to the director general of police of the state, calling for
a detailed report on the incident within four weeks," the official
added.
The body of the 14-year-old girl was found hanging from a tree in
the premises of the Nighaasan police station Friday night. Her
family alleged that she was raped, killed and her body was hung
from a tree to make it look like a suicide.
According to reports, the teenager along with her family used to
live near a building coming up inside the premises of the police
station.
"Eleven police personnel posted at the police station have
reportedly been suspended following a protest by the local
residents," the NHRC official said.
