The petitioner also urged the Commission to prosecute the personnel involved in the transfer of Ghanashyam from the Jail to the police station and to pay a compensation of Rs 5 lakhs or at a rate the Commission deems fit.
The Rights Commission in its missive to the DGP also said that allegations have been raised that no one is allowed to meet the prisoner.
