NHRC takes cognisance of 'encounter' of Hyd rape accused

The Quint  

New Delhi, Dec 6 The National Human Rights Commission on Friday took suo motu cognisance of the alleged 'encounter', based on media reports, of the four accused arrested by the police in the gang-rape and murder of a veterinarian in Hyderabad. In a statement, the rights body said, "As per reports, all four accused were taken to the scene of the crime around 60 kms from Hyderabad for a re-construction as part of the investigation." The NHRC said that as per the police version, one of the accused signalled to the others to apparently escape and in the process they tried to snatch weapons from the police personnel. The commission said there is a lack of "standard operating procedures" to immediately respond to panic situations by police authorities, and it has been insisting that all law enforcement agencies keep human rights in mind while dealing with persons arrested by them or being kept in their custody.
