The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance of the death of a young man who was allegedly electrocuted while trying to cross a water-logged street in Patel Nagar, Delhi.
In a media statement on Thursday, the NHRC said it has observed the contents of the media report that a 26-year-old man was killed after an iron gate was pulled open by the flat mates of the paying guest accommodation on July 22.

“The Commission has observed the contents of the media report, if true, raise a serious issue of the violation of human rights of the victim due to apparent negligence of the authorities,” the NHRC said.
