A team of the National Human Rights Commission visited the Sweeper Colony in Shillong today and interacted with the residents of the area.
The three-member NHRC team called on the community elders of the colony besides also visiting the house of the girl involved in an argument with the bus driver and his son that flared up into a big incident creating over a week of turmoil in the city.
The NHRC team would also call on the three boys who were allegedly assaulted in the incident and record their statement.
