National Human Rights Commission has decided to send its fact-finding team to probe the death of people in police firing during the protests against the Sterlite Copper Unit in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin district.

The move comes days after the Delhi High Court had left it to the NHRC to decide on a lawyer's representation for an independent probe into it. The Commission has asked its Director General (Investigation) to depute a team headed by an officer not below the rank of Senior Superintendent of Police assisted by three more officers of the rank of Deputy SP and inspectors from its investigation division.

The team will leave forthwith and examine all the concerned, including family members of the victims and independent witnesses and submit a report to the Commission within two weeks.

Earlier, the NHRC had issued notices to Tamil Nadu's Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police seeking detailed reports in two weeks, along with the status of those who were being treated for injuries.
