CHANDIGARH: Taking cognisance of the death of two sanitation workers while cleaning a hotel sewer line in Hansi town, the Haryana Human Rights Commission has slammed the police investigation, terming it seriously biased, suspicious, and aimed at protecting the culprits from the rigours of law.
The commission stated in unequivocal terms that the direction of the investigation and documents placed on record clearly indicated a deliberate and well-planned attempt to shield the real culprits.
The full commission, comprising chairperson Justice Lalit Batra and members Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia, made strong observations on the police report, stating that the so-called appointment letter of the hotel’s assistant manager, which bears no date, not only raises grave suspicion but also clearly suggested that such a document was hurriedly prepared after the incident to divert liability away from the hotel owner.
