Dear Friends,
Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human rights (PVCHR) got information from relatives of survivors who came to PVCHR office for help that a young Mushar boy resident of Village Jaam under jurisdiction Sikarara, Jaunpur of Uttar Pradesh was forcefully abducted by the brick kiln owner and police personnel.
Case detail,
I, Tinku Mushahar age- 30 year son of Pauhari Mushar is resident of village Jaam under jurisdiction Sikara of Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh. My whole family is involved in making brick at
On 7th April, 2012 I was drenching the soil than four policemen two were in uniform and two were in civil dress and with three other boys came to the brick kiln factory of Maurya Ji. They came to Lashman Vanwasi and asked for the Bharat. Lakshman asked me who is Bharat? When I look back I identify the boys. We all started to run I was caught as my leg was stained with wet soil.
The man in the civil dress said he is S.O of Jamalapur Police Chawki and took me in the four wheeler of brick – kiln owner UP 78 CJ 9093, when I reach to the police chawki. Brick kiln owner Arvind Yadav was sitting there.
After looking me he started to abuse me by using filthy words "I will throw off you and human rights". S.O slapped me and gave his mobile to call Mahatim. When I was taking with him, Arvind Yadav snatched the phone and started to abuse him, "you became the father of Human Rights, you have grown up, you became a leader". S.O also abused him you became a Human Rights Officer bigger officer than me. I stayed in police station for two hours and during that time I do the cleaning of the police chowki.
Around 5 pm Arvind Yadav took me to him house and show me his small gun and said, your father is not caught and used abusive words. He took me to his aunt house and closed me in a room, where food grain was stored. Around 11 pm in the night an old lady gave me mat. There was no light in the room. I cannot sleep whole night due to fear.
Next day morning around 5 am Arvind Yadav came and take me to do the work and again closed me in the room after 6 pm. That time he only gave me food to eat. He asked me to ease in the same room.
Next day i.e. 9th April, 2012 morning they took me to Saidpur district court and took my thumb print in blank paper. Around 1 pm I return and again got engaged in the work.
On 10th April, 2012 when I was working he called me and gave his mobile to talk with my father and ask for 2 lakhs rupees. Meanwhile he started to beat me and phone got disconnected. After beating me again he ranged and abused my wife Guddi and threat I will also see Mahatim. Now our rule has come and Government is also our
Again he took me to the same labour officer and took my statement that my father took advance of 2 lakhs rupees and said he will hand over me to the office of Human Rights.
Both Arvind and Pappu Yadav park the car near to the PVCHR office and after half an hour they returned. After sitting in car they gave threat to me. When we all started to move Gazipur then I saw the galley of PVCHR office and I jump from the running car and rush to PVCHR office. When the owner came to PVCHR office and did not find me then they return back.

I am sending him, this happened in confusion. Some police personnel of Jamalapur police chawki are familiar and that's why they supported to brick kiln owner. The boy was kept in police station for his father presence. When in the evening no one came then brick kiln owner took him to the brick kiln factory.
