The Commission has observed that the contents of the news report, if true, raise a serious issue of violation of Right to life of a young boy and negligence by public servants. The reported police action indicates their "insensible mind set".
As per the reports, the villagers thought that both the boys tried to molest the girl and killed her as she might have refused their advances. The large crowd gathered on the spot tied them to a tree and assaulted them with bricks and cricket bats.
The boy, who survived the severe public thrashing, told the media that for about three hours they were questioned by the police without any medical help. Not even a glass of water was given to them, the NHRC said quoting the reports.
