Maharashtra Human Rights Commission (MHRC) on Tuesday held its first hearing on a petition seeking action against the police for not taking preventive measures and abdicating their statutory powers in favour of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray.
The petition moved by social activist Medha Patkar and several NGOs alleged that constitutional as well as human rights of lakhs of people have been violated by planned attacks by people of a "certain" political party.
