SHRC directs Tamil Nadu govt to pay Rs 50,000 compensation

The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed the Tamil Nadu government to pay a compensation of Rs 50,000 to the family of a minor boy, who was verbally abused and assaulted by an inspector.
The boy was attacked when he was detained in connection with an assault case at the Chromepet police station in 2017.
The boy’s mother moved the commission seeking action against the then inspector of Chromepet police station, Sivakumar.
The petitioner contended that despite being aware that her son was a minor, the inspector assaulted him with lathi which the inspector denied.
SHRC member D Jayachandran, unconvinced with the inspector’s response, held that there was a human rights violation and directed the government to pay a compensation to the family.
