The appeal from NCPCR comes in light of its member coming across a political party worker who was stationed at the hospital.
“We had sent a member of the commission for an inquiry into the incident. Even that person was not allowed to meet the victim. The attending doctor told the member that the victim was in severe trauma. At the time, the member found a representative from a political party sitting in the hospital, waiting to meet the victim, along with television personnel. That is why we have made the appeal,’’said NCPCR chairperson Priyank Kanoongo.
He said the commission had taken cognizance of the rape case and written to the Ujjain police as well as the DM to investigate the matter and submit an action-taken report to NCPCR.
