Lal's relatives then took his body to Amritsar and did a second autopsy which 'revealed that there were 41 ante-mortem injuries, including six marks of electric shocks', the statement added.

The commission, which took up the matter on a complaint filed by human rights activist Suhas Chakma, issued notice to the Jammu and Kashmir government.

'The state government failed to submit reply to the notice,' the statement said, adding that the commission then recommended that the Jammu and Kashmir government pay monetary relief of Rs.500,000 to the deceased's next of kin.
