Post-poll violence sufferer can file complaint to NHRC, NCW
https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/postpoll-violence-sufferer-can-file-complaint-
to-nhrc-ncw-and-other-rights-bodies-calcutta-hc/2085404 The
Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed that any person who has
suffered on account of post- poll violence in West Bengal can file
complaint to the National Human Rights Commission, WBHRC, NCW and
NCSCST. Hearing PILs over post-post violence in the state, a five-
judge bench directed that the commissions in turn will forward
those complaints to the director general of police (DGP)
immediately. "We direct that if any person has suffered on account
of post-poll violence, he shall be at liberty to file complaint
along with the supporting documents to the National Human Rights
Commission, West Bengal Human Rights Commission, National
Commission for Women and National Commission for Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes," the bench ordered. It directed that
complaint can be filed either by way of hard copy or online. The
matters will be heard again on May 25, the court directed. The
five-judge bench comprises Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and
justices I P Mukerji, Harish Tandon, Soumen Sen and Subrata
Talukdar. The state government sought time to comply with the
court''s earlier order to furnish information on the number of
complaints received by the DGP from the commissions. On the last
date of hearing, the bench had also requested the Advocate General
representing the state to apprise the court about any designated
e-mail id to enable the aggrieved persons to lodge their complaints
online. Petitioners had alleged that they were not permitted to
lodge complaints in the police station and in some cases they were
unable to do so as they had to run away from their places of
residence owing to the post-poll violence. The state government
sought more time to furnish such information. The court directed
that the information be furnished on the next date of hearing. One
of the PILs, filed by lawyer petitioner Anindya Sundar Das, raised
the issue of violence taking place in various parts of the state
after the assembly elections. The petitioner claimed that life and
liberty of the people was in danger due to alleged inaction by the
police. The state government had on May 10 submitted before the
five-judge bench that there has been no post-poll political
violence in the state since May 9 and assured that all possible
steps will be taken to ensure peace in future. PTI AMR SNS

Murder of a ‘Dreaded Gangster’ in a UP Jail Exposes the Brutality
of the Indian State
https://thewire.in/rights/up-jail-dreaded-gangster-murder Several
newspapers carried short reports on May 14, 2021, about a shootout
in a jail in Chitrakoot, a district in Uttar Pradesh. Two inmates
of the jail were killed and one was gunned down by the police.
Behind every such short news report, there is a deeply tragic
story. You won’t often hear this story, because sooner or later, it
will be reduced to a statistic. A number. This number will finally
be the only way our collective memory will remember the brutality
that many of us in India have had to face, often at the hands of
the Indian state. I have worked in rural west Uttar Pradesh for
seven years with Chal Chitra Abhiyaan, a film and media collective
that focuses on local issues, and by now I have lost my ability to
sugar-coat the sick brutality that constitutes the UP state
government. In this piece for The Wire, I will try to humanise a
statistic. Please bear with me. According to the news reports,
Anshu Dixit, a known gangster, shot two people dead in Chitrakoot
jail – Mirajudeen, a gangster apparently close to MLA Mukhtar
Ansari, and Mukim, aka Kala. As a result, in self defence, the
police allegedly shot Anshu Dixit dead. ‘Self defence’ is the
explanation the UP police has used in the more than 5,000
‘encounters’ that it has claimed it has conducted in the last four
years. It is their template explanation. Since then, the numbers
have increased substantially. I didn’t know Anshu Dixit. I didn’t
know Mirajudeen. I did know Mukim Kala. I know his family. I know
how they have been brutalised by the UP government. I am going to
share snippets from Kala’s story. FIR fodder Mukim was a known
outlaw from West UP’s Shamli district. He was just about in his
late 20s when he was declared ‘a dreaded gangster’. Most ‘dreaded
gangsters’ in West UP are in their early to mid-20s. The legendary
gangster from Saharanpur, Mustafa aka Kagga, was also in his late
20s when he was killed by the UP police in 2011. He is now part of
the area’s folklore. “Kagga only killed police people, never
ordinary civilians” is one of the most common statements made about
him. In a state where police brutality against the poor and
marginalised is celebrated by the government, Kagga’s elevation to
the status of legend for putting fear in the hearts of the police
is understandable. Many known criminals in the area were trained by
the late Kagga. According to some people, Mukim was one of them.
ctivists and lawyers in the area, her resolve to get justice for
her son was admirable.
THE WIRE, Online, 19.5.2021 Page No. 0, Size:(0)cms X (0)cms.
While many of the people who had initially filed cases against the
police for the ‘encounters’ of their sons withdrew their cases in
the face of continuous police pressure, Meena’s resolve was
unshakable. In 2018, I travelled with her to Yamunagar jail in
Haryana to meet Mukim. Mukim had a medium build; he was fit and
looked like any another 20-something man. But his eyes displayed
incessant worry for himself and his family. Meena and Mukim
discussed Vasim’s case, the family finances, his condition in jail
and so on. The ‘dreaded gangster’ seemed to be little more than a
misguided youngster who, no matter how hard he tried, would remain
trapped in the rot of the system that had made him what he was. In
February 2018, I met Wahid in Saharanpur jail. Wahid was Mukim’s
rival; they’d even fought gang wars against each other. Another
‘dreaded criminal’, Wahid was just as young as Mukim and had
entered the world of crime in much the same way. Ironically, the
rival gangsters were patronised by the same set of politicians.
Paranoia justified Between March 19, 2017, when Bisht (calling
himself Yogi Adityanath) became Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, and
December 2019, the police carried out 5,178 ‘encounters’. Nearly
40% of the victims were Muslims. The numbers may have increased
substantially since then. In 2017 and 2018, Chal Chitra Abhiyaan’s
team visited some of the families of those who had been
‘encountered’ by the police. The families were struggling
financially. They didn’t have the money to get their daughters
married. Their houses were small and often falling apart. I
wondered where all the money that the state had accused these
‘dreaded gangsters’ of accumulating had gone. Meena’s husband,
Mushtakim, finally got bail in early 2018. We were relieved that
she was no longer alone. Both of them were determined to fight for
justice for Vasim. Nothing could shake their resolve. After
continuous harassment by the UP police, they moved to a relative’s
place in Haryana. On one of their visits to Mukim in Haryana,
Mushtakim was picked up by the UP police and taken to Saharanpur
jail. He has been languishing there ever since, although he did get
a brief parole during the first lockdown last year. Meena continued
to run from pillar to post for her son and her husband. Mukim had
been transferred to several jails since his first arrest. Meena had
always feared for his life. She had sensed that he could be killed
in jail or when he was presented to the court during his hearings.
Her lawyers sent several faxes to the National Human Rights
Commission, the district magistrates of the area and so on, urging
them to ensure his security. In response to a writ petition on
March 22, 2021, when Mukim was transferred to Saharanpur jail, the
court had clearly stated, “We dispose of this writ petition with
the direction to the respondents to conduct as per Jail Manual
(sic) and thereby to see that no harm is caused to the petitioner’s
son.”
THE WIRE, Online, 19.5.2021 Page No. 0, Size:(0)cms X (0)cms.
Some of us felt that Meena was being paranoid about her son’s
safety, but given the track record of the UP police, one never
knows what to expect. About a week before the shootout, in the
middle of the worst health pandemic since Indian independence,
Mukim was suddenly shifted to Chitrakoot jail. This time, given the
lockdown and how everything was shut, no one was able to send the
faxes to the requisite authorities. Meena was worried. I felt this
was a routine transfer, made to decongest jails during the
pandemic. I was wrong. Where the guns are aimed I marvel at the UP
police. The UP government. The UP administration. At a time when
thousands of dead bodies are floating in the river Ganga which
flows through UP, the state machinery is invested in making
nefarious plans on how to bump off gangsters they are uncomfortable
with. Make no mistake: it’s not as if crime is reducing in UP. Only
selected gangsters are killed because they carry with them
uncomfortable secrets about the police, politicians and people in
the administration. Because the very gangsters that were once used
by the powers that be are now a burden to them. Young men are made
pawns in ugly political games. Many among the privileged of the
country looked away when the state’s ruthlessness was displayed in
Kashmir, several Northeastern states, Punjab. Today similar
brutalities are being carried out in India’s heartland, Uttar
Pradesh. Initially, the bulk of the victims were Muslims, people
from the other backward castes and even Dalits. Many among the
privileged elite looked away. They even looked away when the houses
of Muslims were vandalised by the police in Muzaffarnagar to stop
the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests. But the guns are now
being aimed against other communities as well. The UP police is a
heavily understaffed and crazily overworked force. A force that is
just barely in control. A force that has been given a free hand to
brutalise the weakest and the most vulnerable in the state. The UP
government wants to introduce an Uttar Pradesh Special Security
Force, a force that can arrest you and search your house without a
warrant. No citizen will even have the right to file a case against
any act of this special security force. Let’s not fool ourselves.
AFSPA [the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act] is now right in our
backyards, no longer reserved for states with religious or
linguistic or ethnic minorities. We may not be too far from
experiencing what Mukim and his family are suffering today.

Ruia deaths: NHRC seeks report from Health Department
https://www.thehansindia.com/news/cities/tirupathi/ruia-deaths-nhrc-seeks-report-from-

Congress leader and former Union minister Dr Chinta Mohan on Friday
petitioned the NHRC to probe the Covid patients deaths that
occurred due to lack of oxygen in SVRR government hospital ICU and
other wards (on May 10) and alleged that about 30 died in the
incident which is a serious human rights violation and injustice to
the poor. He requested the NHRC to register a case into the deaths
in SVRR and investigate. Another person, Jestadi Sudhakar of All
India Council of Human Rights, Liberties, Social Justice, also on
May 10 filed a complaint with NHRC, requesting the commission to
intervene in the issue of the death of Covid patients due to non-
availability of oxygen supply in SVRR hospital.

NHRC asks govt to pay Rs 1 lakh to kin of girl who ended life after
cop brutality last year
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/nhrc-asks-govt-to-pay-rs-1-lakh-to-kin-of-
girl-who-ended-life-after-cop-brutality-last-year/articleshow/82750392.cms
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday directed the
Jharkhand government to provide Rs 1 lakh compensation to the
family of a 12-year-old girl, who was badly beaten by Dhansar
police in Dhanbad in April last year, leading her to commit suicide
following depression.NHRC also asked the DGP to ensure action
against the erring officials, including the then officer in-charge
of Dhansar police station, under relevant provisions of the law.
NHRC granted four weeks’ time to the state government to comply
with the directives. A formal directive was issued to chief
secretary Sukhdev Singh on Monday. Sharing a copy of the order with
TOI on Tuesday, Onkar Vishwakarma, a human rights activist based in
Koderma district, who had filed a formal complaint before NHRC last
year, said the deceased minor hailed from Brite Kusunda area under
Dhansar police station. “On April 19 last year, the girl had gone
to a local grocery shop in the morning to buy some items when the
local police on patrolling charged canes on her. She slipped into
depression after that and committed suicide the day next,” he said,
adding that excesses against civilian, especially a minor girl, was
highly condemnable. “There could be many ways to enforce a lockdown
and especially with kids, one has to be more sensitive,” he said,
adding that the incident prompted him to knock doors of the NHRC
seeking justice for the poor family. Based on the complaint, NHRC
sought response from the state police. Dhanbad SSP in his response
on October 3 last year told the commission that police mistook the
girl to be a boy because of her haircut and outfit. “On the
direction of the police inspector, officials used force to disperse
the crowd. We registered a case and the matter is under
Investigation. SP City, Dhanbad, inquired into the matter and
recommended departmental action against Bhikari Ram, police
inspector cum SHO of Dhansar PS, the then Dhanbad SSP was
transferred from Dhansar police station to the police centre,”
Dhanbad police had stated in their reply to NHRC. Unconvinced with
the police action, NHRC asked state government and police for
appropriate action. “Considering the material placed on record, it
reveals that police beating during the lockdown led her into
depression and she committed suicide. The commission had issued
showcause notice, however, it has not received any reply or
response from the concerned authority which leads to the commission
that the chief secretary of Jharkhand has nothing to urge upon the
commission. Therefore, it is directed to provide compensation of Rs
1,00,000 to the next of kin of the deceased victim within four
weeks and submit compliance. In addition, director general of
police is directed to take stern legal action under relevant
provisions of law against guilty police officials, including
Bhikari Ram, and inform within four weeks,” read the order.
