Police sources said that the family members demanded action against the three policemen of Karaya police station for harassing the young man, Mir Amirul Islam, who had taken a rape victim to the police station to file a complaint.

Chairman of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission Ashok Ganguly told PTI here that the Commission has sought a report from the police within two weeks.

Islam had immolated himself before the police station on December 3 last year in protest against police inaction against rape and his harassment.

His family members produced a note he had written asking them to raise their voice against the nexus between the police and the rapist.
