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.
