NHRC directs govt to pay ₹5 lakh to kin of dog bite victim, seeks bank a/c

Acting on a petition filed by noted human rights activist and Supreme Court advocate Radhakanta Tripathy, the NHRC passed the order and sought compliance reports from the authorities within six weeks. Tripathy brought to the notice of the Commission about the death of a 3-year-old child in Moti Nagar, West Delhi, due to biting by five stray dogs in a park.

The complainant, Tripathy, requested the Commission's intervention to ensure payment of compensation to the victim's parent for the loss of life and to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in future.
