,TNNBANGALORE: The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) will probe the recent bus burning incident on Hosur Road in which two persons were charred to death and the suicide of a PhD student from IISc. It has registered cases by taking suo motu cognizance of both incidents.
In the first case, the SHRC will examine whether police negligence led to the burning of the bus and with focus on whether the police had prior information about the crime.
The SHRC has asked the additional chief secretary and principal secretary (home) to submit a report on the police's action within two weeks.
In the IISc suicide case, the SHRC will examine whether harassment by teachers or students led to the suicide of PhD student Ajay Srichandra. The student's father and a Dalit organisation have alleged that harassment was the cause of Ajay's suicide. The SHRC has directed the home secretary to submit a report in a month and wants the investigation to be led by an officer whose rank is not less than an IGP. A notice has also been sent to Ajay's father for his version.
The IISc has constituted a committee to probe the incident and its report is expected by this week-end.
