    The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sent a notice to the Uttar Pradesh government and the state police chief seeking a detailed report on the death of the father of an alleged gangrape victim in judicial custody in Unnao district. The NHRC has also asked the authorities to ensure "the aggrieved family is not subjected to further harassment". Here's more.

    Allegations raise serious issue of violation of human rights: NHRC

    "The incident was reported to have happened a day after the alleged rape victim tried to immolate herself near the chief minister's residence accusing BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his aides of gangrape," the NHRC said on Tuesday. The NHRC observed that the allegations, if true, raise a serious issue of violation of human rights of the victim family.

    NHRC has issued notice to Chief Secretary and DGP UP

    NHRC has issued a notice to the chief secretary and the director general of police of Uttar Pradesh, seeking a detailed report, including action taken against the "delinquent police officials", who refused to register an FIR.

    NHRC also expected DGP's explanation about the custodial death

    "The NHRC also expects from the DGP, an explanation for not communicating the custodial death to the commission within 24 hours. All the reports, including health screening report of the deceased at the time of his admission in jail and medical treatment provided by the jail authorities, are to be sent," said the rights panel. They've been given four weeks to respond, it said.

    Chief Secretary directed to look into the matter personally

    The commission said it has also directed the chief secretary to "look into the matter personally and ensure that the aggrieved family is not subjected to further harassment and humiliation by the opponents who appear to be resourceful persons of the locality". "He (chief secretary) is also directed to monitor and expedite the magisterial inquiry which is underway," it added.

    Deceased was arrested on April 5 under the Arms Act

    The man, 50, was rushed to a hospital from the district jail on April 8 night and died during treatment on Monday, an official said. He was arrested on April 5 under the Arms Act, they added. Significantly, a case had been registered against four persons a few days ago on a complaint by the wife of the deceased that he was beaten up.
