The Human Rights Commission has taken a strict stance in the Bharat Tiwari encounter case in Bhojpur district, Bihar, ordering the swift disbursement of ex-gratia compensation to the dependents. The next hearing is scheduled for August 3rd.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has directed authorities to expedite the payment of ex-gratia compensation to the dependents of Bharat Tiwari, who was involved in an encounter in Bihar's Bhojpur district.
