Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi Executive Director, Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR)/Jan Mitra Nyas is going for indefinite hunger strike from 25th August, 2010 in front of UCO Bank, Pandeypur, Varanasi India due to the mental and financial harassment after twice return back of grant from the Danish organization Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims (RCT) for the project "Promoting Psycho-legal support to reduce TOV in India".
Dr. Raghuvanshi has decided after not getting any appropriate solution and answers on the several email sent to the concerned bank (UCO Bank, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, HSBC). One hand UCO Bank stated the grant is lying in the HSBC bank and RCT informed that grant has return back. The matter was even taken up to the Reserve Bank of India, Prime Minister of India, Mr. Rahul Gandhi and Ms. Sonia Gandhi.
· On 27th July, 2010 RCT transferred first installment of 250,000 DKK and it was return back. On 10th August, 2010 Zonal Office, UCO Bank wrote letter to HSBC for the transfer of the fund
· Again the same grant was transferred on 10th August, 2010 on the request of its partner organization JMN, we immediately informed to the UCO Bank & HSBC for tracing and transfer of fund, but unfortunately RCT informed that grant return back from UCO Bank, Pandeypur. Now on 18th August, 2010 the Zonal Office informed that Treasury Branch need MT-103 to trace the fund. It is a type of harassment of the customer.
Prior to this JMN/PVCHR and RCT successfully hold three pilot project "Capacity building for testimonial therapy in India" the grant was transferred through the same process. During that time only one time grant was return back to them.
It is very pathetic that staffs/consultants are working and not remunerated with any single penny and the activities of the project have also started. The organization is not in the financial conditional to easily face such condition.
Satyagrah of Mahatma Gandhi is the way to seek the truth so, he is going for hunger strike to remember father of nation.
Therefore it is kind request please provide support to Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi
In solidarity

Dear UCO Bank,
Again third time our fund return back to the donor organization RCT
from HSBC and this time HSBC informed that UCO bank deny to recieve
the fund with the unidentified reason. Even after getting information
from Zonal Manager UCO Bank (enclosed as last annexure). This is the
mental and financial harrasment of the customer.
Therefore it is kind request for the immediate high level inquiry. We
are going to take this matter with Reserve Bank of India and Ministry
of Finance. We copy this email to the office of Prime Minister of
India and Member of Parliament from Uttar pradesh Mr. Rahul Gandhi to
show the banking system of India and creating wonderful image before
the european client.
Please inform all development day to day to us under right to information act
Thanking You
Sincerly Yours
