New Delhi: The committee constituted by the Centre to investigate the sexual abuse and killings of children and women in Noida's Nithari village has said "it was the failure of not just police, but the entire local administration which resulted in Nithari."
The panel submitted its report to the Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Renuka Chowdhury, on Wednesday. "It was a complete failure of the local administration, " Renuka Chowdhary said after the Manjula Krishnan committee submitted its report to her.
In its report, the committee, however, states that the modus operandi and the motive behind the crime are still not clear. "Different perspectives need to be explored, including the organ trade angle," it says.
The committee chaired by Manjula Krishnan, the Joint Secretary in the Women and Child Development Ministry, has not ruled out the possibility of organ trade behind the Nithari killings.
The committee said there was gross negligence and dereliction of duty on part of UP Police and that such peripheral cases of missing children should be handed over to the CBI.
The Centre had earlier asked the committee to look into the lapses on the part of the local administration till the Nithari mass grave was discovered. The panel has also said that the laws regarding missing children seems to have failed in India and that these laws need to be revised and improved upon.
