New Delhi, July 26

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to the Railways, Haryana Government and state police chief over the killing of a Muslim youth on a train in Faridabad last month.

According to the order issued by the NHRC, the notices have been sent to the Chairman of the Railway Board, Haryana Chief Secretary and state Director General of Police.

“The notices were sent a couple of days back,” a senior official of the rights panel said on the condition of anonymity. The NHRC sought a report from them in four weeks.

Junaid was stabbed to death when he was returning home to Khandwali village with his brothers after shopping for Eid in Delhi on June 22. His body was dumped close to Asaoti village in Faridabad district.

Junaid’s brothers Hashim and Sakir were injured by a mob which allegedly hurled communal slurs against them in the Ballabgarh area of Faridabad while they were travelling on the train from Delhi.

His brothers had claimed that the attackers had taunted them and repeatedly called them anti-nationals and beef-eaters. A reward of Rs 2 lakh had been announced for information on the identity of those involved in the killing. — PTI
