NHRC Intervenes in Ladakh Abduction Case
A young Buddhist girl from a tribal community in Ladakh was taken away by a Muslim man on 26th December.
The police found her two days later in Srinagar, and she was very upset.
The police have registered a case under special laws for protecting children.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked the police to investigate seriously and send a report within a week.
The NHRC thinks the girl's rights may have been violated and wants the case to be handled carefully.
A minor Buddhist girl was abducted by a Muslim man in Ladakh on 26th December 2023.
An FIR was registered on 28th December under Section 137(2) of BNS and POCSO Act.
The girl was recovered from Srinagar in a state of mental trauma and is under CWC supervision.
NHRC has written to Ladakh police and administration, seeking a report within 7 days.
