Patna, June 4 (PTI) National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked the Bihar government to submit a report in connection with the murder of a doctor by the inmates of a jail in Gopalganj on May 29. “The NHRC has written a letter to Chief Secretary Anup Mukherjee seeking a report on the incident,” officials said today. Admitting that it was a serious lapse on the part of the jail administration, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had transferred two top officials in connection with the murder of a doctor by the inmates of a Gopalganj jail. “It is a serious lapse on the part of the jail administration…There are several flaws cited in the inquiry report,” Kumar had said. Doctor Buddhadev Singh was mercilessly assaulted on May 29 by jail inmates after he went inside to attend a patient and he died later when he was brought to Patna Medical College Hospital for treatment.
