The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report alleging increasing incidents of violence among inmates in Tihar Jail, Delhi. Reports said in yet another incident of inmate clash inside the prison, a 25-year-old prisoner was beaten up by another on September 22, the sixth such incident this month alone.
Contrary to media reports, many states have flatly denied deaths due to oxygen shortage during the second wave of Covid-19. This is despite courts pulling them up for their lackadaisical attitude towards patients.
