The NHRC has requested a report from Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golchha within two weeks regarding an incident where a Manipuri woman was physically assaulted following racial abuse. The episode occurred in the Malviya Nagar area of South Delhi when she objected to inappropriate remarks made by a group of boys. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) took notice of a media report highlighting the assault on the woman from Manipur, which occurred on March 8, 2026.
The NHRC emphasized that if the details in the news report are accurate, it signifies a severe violation of the victim’s human rights. Consequently, the Commission has directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to furnish a comprehensive report within the stipulated two-week period. The report is expected to cover the victim’s health status and details of the investigation into the incident.
In a related development, the NHRC has also issued notices to the Haryana Chief Secretary and the Police Commissioner of Gurugram, seeking a detailed report within two weeks concerning the reported death of seven workers due to a wall collapse in the Bilaspur area of Gurugram on March 9. The incident occurred at a construction site for a sewage treatment plant linked to an upcoming residential project, with concerns raised about the potential entrapment of around 10 additional workers under the debris.
The NHRC has expressed grave concern over the reported human rights violations of the victims in this tragic incident. Accordingly, notices have been dispatched to the state Chief Secretary and the Police Commissioner of Gurugram, urging them to submit a comprehensive report within two weeks. The report should encompass details on the injured individuals’ health status, the progress of the investigation, and any compensation provided to the affected workers and their families.
According to media reports from March 10, the authorities, including the police and various rescue teams, are actively engaged in search and rescue efforts to locate the workers believed to be trapped beneath the rubble.
