The whole family is in a way under house arrest conditions and their normal social life has been cut off, PUCL members Kamal Singh, Farman Naqvi, Alok, Shashikant, and K B Maurya told reporters here.
The victim’s family members fear for their lives once the CRPF protection is withdrawn, they said.
The PUCL members said cases must be lodged against officials for a hurried cremation of the victim.
Action should be taken against District Magistrate Praveen Kumar, SP Vikram Veer, and the area SHO in this regard.
