NHRC Seeks Report on Tirupati Mayor Poll Violence
Imagine there was a big fight during an election for the deputy mayor in Tirupati.
Someone complained that people attacked a bus with party members.
The person who complained said that some people who caused trouble weren't even mentioned in the police report, which made them worried.
Because of this, a special group that looks after human rights, called NHRC, is now looking into what happened.
They've asked the police in Andhra Pradesh to explain what happened and they are going to look at everything carefully to figure out exactly what occurred.
NHRC is seeking a report from the Andhra Pradesh DGP regarding violence during the Tirupati deputy mayor election.
MP M. Gurumurthy filed a complaint alleging an attack on his bus carrying party corporators.
Gurumurthy claimed some attackers were not named in the FIR, raising investigation concerns.
The NHRC reviewed the complaint, media reports, and High Court directions.
The DGP reported police deployment during the violence, which led to the election's postponement.
