The committee called “Citizens Committee” comprises of former Chief Justice of the Madras and Delhi high courts and former chairman, Law Commission Justice A.P. Shah, former Supreme Court judge Justice Madan Lokur, a former judge of the Delhi high court Justice R.S. Sodhi, former Union home secretary G.K. Pillai, a former judge of the Patna high court Justice Anjana Prakash, and former director-general of the Bureau of Police Research and Development Meeran Chadha Borwankar.
The CCG body stated that after the horrific riots which took place earlier this year, it is in need to be examined by a expert body. The loss of lives, amount of violence, destruction of properties and the communal division between two communities has led the committee to probe into the matter.
