Two separate alleged abuses trigger NHRC notices in Jharkhand and Haryana

The NHRC's recent activity underscores growing concerns over violence against women in India. In Garhwa, Jharkhand, a woman allegedly suffered severe burns after an attacker poured boiling water on her, prompting the commission to seek a formal inquiry from local authorities. Simultaneously, a report from Haryana describes a 57‑year‑old woman's death following a sexual assault committed by a machine operator during a CT‑scan procedure. Both cases have been met with official notices demanding detailed investigations, health assessments, and possible compensation within a two‑week deadline.
