The Union home ministry on the recommendation of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), on Thursday paid Rs. 8 lakh as monetary relief to the four members of a family who became victims of atrocities committed by Border Security Force (BSF) personnel near Border Out Post, Amzadnagar in South Tripura. The incident had occurred on 29 November, 2010.
The panel recommended monetary relief after the police enquiry report, in response to its notices, confirmed the allegations that the three Constables of BSF were prima facie guilty of attempting to rape a girl, killing her father and injuring her two brothers, who came to rescue her.
Earlier, the panel, based on the replies of the concerned authorities, had observed that the Staff Court of Enquiry held by the BSF had absolved its three personnel involved in the criminal offence.
