A party release said that the delegation will include CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, party Politburo member Brinda Karat, CPI General Secretary D Raja and party's national secretary Amarjeet Kaur. The delegation will also include secretaries of the Uttar Pradesh state committee of the two parties.
The Uttar Pradesh government has recommended a CBI probe into the incident. Political parties have also alleged that the 19-year-old victim was cremated without consent of parents.
