GUWAHATI: The Assam State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (ASCPCR) has urged the Nagaon Deputy Commissioner and Nagaon Superintendent of Police to investigate the death of a child labourer in the district's Khaighar area, in the fast-track mode.

In a letter to the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police, the commission alleged that the victim child was physically and mentally abused regularly by her employer Prakash Barthakur.

"This is a case of heinous offense and one where a child has been murdered and the Commission has taken the case very seriously. The SP Nagaon has assured the Commission that the charge sheet will be prepared on a fast track mode and justice shall be delivered," the ASCPCR stated.
