Mangaluru: The Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) will conduct a hearing into the alleged police brutality, during the December 19 anti-CAA stir in Mangaluru, on December 31.

The KSHRC had received complaints from Bengaluru-based Advocate Rakshith Shivaram, Mahila Congress national social media coordinator Lavanya Ballal, Bantwal Town Municipality councillors – Luqman Bantwal and Monish Ali urging them to initiate ‘suo motto’ action against the Mangaluru police commissioner and other officers responsible for the firing which claimed two lives. They have also appealed to provide justice to the victims.

The city police violated the human rights guaranteed to the citizens of the country under the constitution as well as the UN Charter, it is stated in the complaint.
