Panel set up to look into Ramjas violence: Police

The police on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court that it has set up a panel to look into the recent violence at Ramjas College where students and scribes were allegedly assaulted by cops.

The police submitted that the panel of senior cops was set up after the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) sought the agency's response regarding the alleged assault on a complaint filed before it.

In view of the submissions made by Delhi Police, a Bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal disposed of a plea by a law student for action against the cops who had allegedly assaulted students and journalists during the violence at the college.

The Bench noted that NHRC was seized of the matter and has given the police four weeks to indicate what steps it has taken in the matter.

The court also noted the police's submissions that it has suspended four of its officials in connection with the incident, an FIR has already been lodged and the matter has been transferred to the Crime Branch.
