National Human Rights Commission:<\/span> On 27-08-2025, the National Human Rights Commission (‘NHRC’) took suo motu cognizance of reported death of a Zimbabwean student in Bathinda, Punjab. According to the report, the student was allegedly assaulted by a group of people and later succumbed to his injuries at AIIMS, Bathinda, on 21-09-2025. He was a graduation student at Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo Town. He had a prior altercation with a security guard a day before he was assaulted by him and his accomplices on 13-08-2025. An FIR has been registered in the case.<\/p>\n

The NHRC observed that the contents of the news report, if true, raise serious issues of violation of human rights.
