The BHRC has also directed the Home department/ SP, Sitamarhi, to inform it within two month about the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the retired IO.
Gadadhar Pathak, son of late Jageshwar Pathak, village Bhasar, under Sitamarhi Sadar police station, had complained to the commission regarding high-handedness of Investigating Officer(IO) of Sitamarhi Town police station case of November 5, 2013, lodged by him.
