NHRC takes suo motu cognizance of a media report alleging thrashing of a woman in police station in UP.

New Delhi, 6th June, 2013

The National Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report that the mother of a 9-year old boy was badly thrashed by the police personnel and pushed out of the Quarsi Police Station, Aligarh, UP, when she went to enquire about her son who was kept in the police lock-up. The contents of the press report, if true, raise a serious issue of violation of human rights. The Commission has issued a notice to the Chief Secretary and DGP, Uttar Pradesh, calling for a report within four weeks.

According to the news report, carried on 31st May, 2013, the boy was amongst 6 minors who were in the lock-up since 27th May, 2013, on complaints of committing theft. The mother of one of the children, went to the police station to enquire about his minor son and confronted the policemen for keeping him in the lock-up.

The In-charge of the police station, reportedly hurled abuses on her and asked his sub-ordinate lady Sub-Inspector to thrash away her. The woman was slapped, punched and kicked before being pushed out of the premises.

Dear Sir,
I want to bring in your kind attention towards the news published in the Aaj Tak on 30th May, 2013 खौफनाक पुलिस! महिलाओं पर थप्पड़ों की बौछार http://aajtak.intoday.in/video/up-police-beat-women--1-732141.html 
 
 
खौफनाक पुलिस! महिलाओं पर थप्पड़ों की बौछार
आज तक ब्यूरो | नई दिल्ली, 30 मई 2013   |  अपडेटेड : 21:48 IST
अलीगढ़ में पुलिस ने महिलाओं पर जबरदस्त गुस्सा निकाला. यूपी के अलीगढ़ में महिलाओं के साथ थानेदार ने बदसलूकी इसलिए की क्योंकि इन महिलाओं ने उनके मासूम नाबालिग बच्चों के बारे में बात की थी. इन बच्चों को चार दिनों से थाने में बंद किया हुआ था जिसे लेकर महिलाएं थाने पर पहुंच गई और हंगामा करने लगी.
 
Therefore it is a kind request please take appropriate action at earliest.
 
Thanking You

Sincerely Yours
