National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has decided to send a probe team to Doramba of Ramechhap to investigate 19 Maoists’ death on August 17, a statement said Saturday.

Army said those Maoists were killed in retaliation, whereas the Maoists said their 19 non-armed cadres were killed by the army after torture.

Meanwhile, issuing a statement Saturday, Amnesty International, a human rights organisation, has demanded free and fair probe into the incident.
