NHRC Investigates Odisha Suicide Amid Blackmail and Police Inaction

A young woman in Odisha died by suicide.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is now involved.

The NHRC is looking into whether the police helped her before she died.

The woman's father says he reported that a man was blackmailing her with photos six months before she died, but the police didn't take any action.

Now, the NHRC wants a full report from the police within two weeks.
