Therefore, the Commission asked the government of Uttar Pradesh through its chief secretary to pay Rs 3 lakh as compensation to the victim. The compensation money should be deposited in a nationalised bank as fixed deposit in the child's ac
count under guardianship of a responsible government official. The principal and accrued interest will be given to the victim when he becomes a major.
The Commission also received letter (dated 30.05.2012) sent by secretary, home (human rights), Section - I, Government of Uttar Pradesh, stating that the then Mirzamurad SHO Dhramveer Singh and constable Anjani Kumar Paswan have been found guilty for assaulting the child and not taking legal action.
