Patna:
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Thursday began a probe
into police firing in which four people were killed in Bihar last
month, an official said.
A pregnant woman and a six-month-old infant were among those
killed and nine people were injured June 3 at Bhajanpura village
in Araria, 350 km from here, when villagers were protesting an
upcoming factory.
"A four-member NHRC team visited the village and began the
investigation," a district official said.
The commission last month decided to investigate the police firing
following huge protests by the opposition and rights bodies.
