The Odisha State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (OSCPCR) would take up the issue of sacrifice of a minor girl by his brother in Sindhkela in Balangir district in December last with the district administration, said OSPCR Chairperson Sandhya Bati Pradhan here on Friday.
Incidentally, the accused was also earlier involved in killing of his cousin brother and had come out from jail after getting bail.
Asked how the accused got bail even though he was earlier involved in such an incident, Pradhan said the accused might have been charged under less stringent sections of law for which he got bail. The chairperson said she would hold discussion with the Balangir SP regarding the matter.
Taking suo motu cognisance of the child sacrifice incident, the commission had issued notice to the Investigating Officer of the case to submit a detailed inquiry report, informed an OSCPCR Member Dibya Saswati.
