New Delhi, December 02: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken a serious note of the illegal use of its name by an NGO, purported to be spread in many parts of the country, and asked the state governments concerned to take action against them.
“The National Human Rights Commission has asked the concerned state governments to take action against the National Human Rights Council of India (NHRCI) for misusing the name of NHRC,” it said in a statement here.
“The said organisation’s email address also resembles the National Human Rights Commission’s email ID,” it added.
The NGO, whose existence was spotted on the internet, appears to have one of its offices in the national capital, an official said.
