Ramlila crackdown: NHRC issues notice to Centre, Delhi govt

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) The National Human Rights Commission
on Monday issued notices to the Central and Delhi governments
seeking reports within two weeks on the midnight crackdown on
Indian yoga guru Baba Ramdev's supporters at Ramilila ground
here.
According to the rights panel, it has issued notices to the
Union Home Secretary, Delhi Chief Secretary and the city
Commissioner of Police calling for reports.
Over 60 people, mostly supporters of Baba Ramdev, were
injured in a police operation to evict them from the ground
where the yoga guru was holding a hunger-strike against
corruption and black money.
Baba Ramdev on Sunday alleged that the police indulged in
"barbarism and atrocities" on his supporters and even women
and children were not spared. Terming the police action as the
the "biggest crime against humanity," he had said he will move
the NHRC with a complaint.
