Bengal post-poll violence: NHRC submits report, recommends CBI probe

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has submitted its report to the Calcutta High Court on the alleged post-poll violence in Bengal and recommended a CBI probe.

Taking note of the report, the Calcutta High Court said it would hear the case on post-poll violence on July 22. The high court also asked the NHRC to share a soft copy of the final report with the state government and petitioners.

Earlier on June 18, the Calcutta High Court had directed the NHRC to constitute a committee to examine all cases of human rights violations in the state during alleged post-poll violence.
