NHRC summons DGP after ISF member complains TMC workers assaulted him

Earlier this week, National Human Rights Commission issued a conditional summon to the Director General of Police (DGP), West Bengal in connection with poll-related violence.

The summon was issued after a member of the Indian Secular Front (ISF) complained that Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress workers assaulted him after the assembly poll results were declared.

In its complaint, the ISF member alleged, “TMC workers beat him after the assembly poll results were declared causing him head injuries.”
