Congress wants judicial probe into Darrang incident
Former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi has sought a judicial probe into the alleged stripping and torture of three women inside a police outpost in Assam.
Gogoi on Thursday slammed the BJP led government in Assam and said that the government has only avoided its responsibility by suspending the officer.
The women, three sisters, were picked up and tortured by Burha police outpost SI Mahendra Sharma on September 6 after their brother allegedly eloped with a Hindu girl.
Following media outrage, SI Sharma and woman constable Binita Boro were on September 11 suspended.
National Human Rights Commission, (NHRC) India has already taken suo motu cognizance of reports of the case.
