Kanungo suggested that the bride, from a tribal Hindu background, might be a minor, noting she was reportedly 16 years old last year. The marriage to a man from Kerala has raised suspicions of child trafficking and potential political influence. Kanungo stated that the NHRC is closely monitoring the situation to ensure the protection of the girl’s rights and to investigate any criminal angles. This case follows his condemnation of FIRs filed against citizens in Amethi for questioning local development fund usage, highlighting a broader concern for human rights and legal accountability in the region.
