The NHRC has accused the police of allowing the violence to take place over the Ram Navami procession in West Bengal. Former Patna High Court Chief Justice Reddy and the 6-member fact-finding team of NHRC said in their report, the riots were pre-planned and instigated.
The team said that the police did not allow us to visit the violence affected areas as well as those places where Section 144 was not implemented. The police are afraid that if we go there, we will come to know what happened there.
The former Chief Justice further said – We were not even allowed to meet the victims. Bengal Police is not even answering our calls. We feel that the police did not take any action to stop the violence. In this matter, the Bengal Police is acting like a dictator. They (police) are engaged in promoting the agenda of a party.
