While his family members have been saying that he had come to the city to join a private firm in Selaqui, the firm officials have stated that they had no intimation of anyone was coming to join their team. They also say that they were not aware of any recruitment done through a campus interview at the private institute at Meerut from where Ranbir had done his MBA two months back.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) while taking suo motu cognizance of the matter has recommended an enquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The NHRC has observed, “The Commission has observed that such reports of police brutality, if true are not only violative of human rights but also an insult to the civilized society which we claim to be. It is imperative that such incidents are independently and impartially probed and the delinquent police personnel are brought to book. The NHRC has issued a notice to the Director General Police, Uttrakhand, directing him to submit a detailed report in the matter and also to forward the post-mortem and inquest reports to the Commission within the two weeks.”

Considering the gravity of the matter, the Commission has expressed its opinion that the matter should be enquired in to by the CBI which has the expertise and credentials to investigate such matters.

“The Commission therefore, has requested the Government of India to lend the services of CBI and convey its concurrence to CBI enquiry within three days. After the Central Government gives it concurrence the CBI will expeditiously enquire in to the matter and submit the enquiry report to the Commission within six weeks,” said a NHRC spokesperson.
