  "summary": "The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) have taken notice of an incident in Jaipur where an RSS pracharak named Krishna Avtar alleged he was stripped, assaulted, and subjected to physical abuse in police custody. The NHRC has expressed serious concerns over the allegations, stating that if proven true, the conduct would constitute a serious infringement of the right to life, personal liberty, and human dignity guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The NHRC has also asked the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police to submit action-taken reports within two weeks. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has expressed strong displeasure at the \"unruly behaviour\" of some police personnel and has directed immediate removal of police personnel and strict disciplinary action in all recent cases involving lapses and \"unruly\" behavior by cops.",
