Chandigarh, April 18

The Prakash Singh inquiry commission, appointed by the Haryana Government to look into lapses by officers during the Jat agitation, will now submit its report by month-end.“I will submit the report to the government by April-end. It is taking time given the volume of evidence collected during my visits to arson-hit districts. The report is at the halfway stage. It is, though, gathering momentum,” he told The Tribune.He further said the only copy of the report, which was still being prepared, was with him. “Nobody has access to the content. There is no way it can be known.”Earlier this month, the former IPS officer had hinted at dereliction of duty on the part of officers, resulting in large-scale violence.Having met about 2,500 people during the course of its visits, the commission collected recorded statements, written representations and several videos, besides oral testimonies.
