The Jammu and Kashmir [Images] Human Rights Commission on Friday sought a detailed report from the state Director General of Police on the alleged attempt by two army men to rape a 17- year-old girl in Bandipora district.

Taking a suo-moto cognisance in the case, commission Chairman Justice (retd) M Y Kawoos asked DGP Gopal Sharma to furnish a detailed report by or before July 30, a spokesman of the commission said.

The two army personnel accused of attempting to rape a minor girl inside her house at Kunan in Bandipora on Tuesday are in police custody.

The court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bandipora, has ordered recording of the victim's statement under Section 166 CrPC. The victim was medically examined and the report is awaited.
