In Uttar Pradesh, cops fire to win awards

Lenin Raghuvanshi of People’s Vigilance Committee of Human Rights (PVCHR) says that such encounters damage the rule of law and criminal justice system. “This also leads to politicisation of criminals as fearing police action, they join the ruling party. They continue their criminal activities under the patronage of local leaders,” he added.

Links for news: 


The high number of encounters in Uttar Pradesh in recent days has raised an eye-brow with opposition parties calling it planned murders
Uttar Pradesh under ‘Yogi’ Adityanath resembles the wild wild west, rather than a scene of calmness usually associated with ascetics. The police records are an eye opener; it speaks volumes about the penchant of policemen to kill in fake encounters.

In the last 10 months (up to February 3) 1,143 encounters took place in Uttar Pradesh in which 38 top criminals were killed and 298 others were injured and around 3,000 criminals were arrested. Besides, the police have imposed National Security Act (NSA) against 167 criminals and seized assets worth nearly ₹150 crores in this period. Four police officials have also been killed and 257 others injured during these encounters.

In the most recent shoot-out, four young men who were returning from a wedding reception on February 3 were stopped by a trainee police inspector Vijay Darshan at a busy crossing in Noida at 10.30 pm. They were told that their crime was playing loud music in their SUV. The police opened fire at Jitendra Yadav, 25, a gym owner, who was at the wheel and received a bullet injury on his neck. His condition is still unstable.

The three others who were in the car said that the inspector had threatened them with “encounter” because killing them would give him an out-of-turn promotion. In the FIR Dharmendra Yadav, who was in the car, wrote that Inspector used the word “encounter” and “out of turn promotion” when he opened fire. The police, in a jiffy, suspended the erring inspector.

“Such behaviour from a police officer is unacceptable,” says Love Kumar, Superintendent of Gautambudh Nagar. But, the message is that the recent encounters in the name of controlling crime are nothing but cold-blooded murders where trigger-happy police officers have gunned down criminals just to get promotion.

The National Human Rights Commission Chairman Justice S Rafat Alam has sought a report from the Gautambudh Nagar SSP saying the report which has appeared in a section of media seems to be a violation of human rights. In his February 5 order, he asked the SSP to file report within 15 days.
Majority of these encounters have been reported from western Uttar Pradesh with 449 such cases reported from Meerut zone followed by 210 in Agra. Around 200 cases are reported Bareilly zone and 98 from Kanpur zone.

Such a high number of encounters has raised an eye-brow with opposition parties calling it planned murders. Samajwadi Party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhry said, “This seems to be a planned cleansing with an eye on the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The police have become trigger happy because of the award associated with the killings.”

The SP leader is not off the mark. The Yogi government has now authorised the Director General of Police to declare an award of ₹2.5 lakh and the district police chief can announce an award of ₹25,000 for any wanted criminals. This has everyone wondering if the government had announced these payments to allure policemen to kill people in the name of controlling crime.

Senior police officers such as HR Sharma defend police action saying such efforts are necessary to control crime. The ADG (Law and Order) Anand Kumar said that the police is targeting only those who are creating problems. “We ask them (criminals) to surrender and if they open fire then the police retaliates. In these firings, many cops have been injured too,” he said.

The police justification will not stand court scrutiny. In a majority of the encounters where criminal has been killed, there is a clear modus operandi. A criminal is arrested but he escapes from police custody. After a few days, the police traces and kills him in an encounter. However, the accomplice of the dreaded criminal always manages to escape.

This happened in Saharanpur too, where the police claimed to have gunned down a wanted criminal Shamshad in an encounter. Three days before this encounter in September 2017, Shamshad had absconded from police custody in Gagalhedi area. The SSP announced an award of ₹12,000 after his escape. The report says Shamshad sustained bullet injuries. One of his aides managed to escape. The police claimed that Shamshad had threatened a local doctor Piyush Sanawar and demanded ₹15 lakh. A similar pattern was followed in the case of Sunila Sharma, for whose head an award of ₹15,000 was announced. He too fled from police custody and was killed in an encounter in Gomti Nagar in Lucknow.

In Azamgarh, the police claimed to have gunned down a criminal Sujeet Singh aka Budhwa, who had a cash reward of ₹50,000 on his death. Police said that Budhwa escaped from police custody while being taken back to Rampur district after being produced in a Mau court in connection with a robbery on August 11. In this encounter the aides of Budhwa escaped. Police claimed that Budhwa was injured in a gun battle with the police and on his way to hospital the injured criminal confessed that he was involved in the heist of an SBI bank in Mau, a bank robbery in Madiyaho (Jaunpur) and half-a-dozen other robberies.

Lenin Raghuvanshi of People’s Vigilance Committee of Human Rights (PVCHR) says that such encounters damage the rule of law and criminal justice system. “This also leads to politicisation of criminals as fearing police action, they join the ruling party. They continue their criminal activities under the patronage of local leaders,” he added.

Re: kind and urgent request please provide monetary support for providing medical treatment to dalit child



Dear Friends,

I want to bring in your kind attention towards the 2 years Saajan Musahar, who diagnosed with Wilm's tumor (https://www.cancer.org/cancer/wilms-tumor/about/what-is-wilms-tumor.html) in Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on 31st October, 2017.  

Saajan Musahar is the youngest child of Sangita and Lalta Vanwasi. Saajan has three sister Ravita, Reema and Kavita. He is resident of village Birbhanpur (Musahar ghetto) in Araji Line block of Varanasi district. Saajan fathers collect wood from the nearby forest and sell. He hardly earns 1000 INR to 1500 INR per month which is not sufficient to meet the two ends.  His all sisters are enrolled in nearby primary school and the foods from MDM (Mid day meal) are sufficient for them as whole day meal. Saajan family doesnot have any ration card.

For the treatment of Saajan her mother sold her Jewellery (anklet and chain) and took debt of one lakhs twenty thousand rupees Rupees on interest from money lender and little money from the relatives.

Saajan mother complained on tehsil diwas to get the possession of the land allotted to her. She demanded either sell the land or provides the treatment to her child. The land was allotted to them but on that land the people from Patel community made temple. The matter was taken by the Dainik Jagran newspaper and one humble person presents there brought child to NRC center in Pandit Deen Dayal Hospital.

First Saajan got treatment by untrained doctor and when his condition started deteriorating then he was taken to hospital in Mohan Sarai and then to BHU.  In BHU he was admitted for eight days in trauma center.  Even, one of the doctors managed to get 15,000 INR to the father's bank account. But due to scarce funds his family had left the hospital half way through the treatment.   Saajan relatives were also influencing his mother to reach to Ojha and sokha for the witch hunting of the disease.  Saajan parents lost heart and he sat at home and handed over everything to God.

Yesterday Saajan was referred from NRC center in Pandit Deen Dayal Hospital to BHU later after lots of efforts he had admitted to BHU's Child care treatment and getting further treatment there. Now, Sajan weight has increased exponentially from 8 kg in October, 2017 to 12 kg in February, 2018.  In BHU the doctors estimated for 2, 50,000 INR for the treatment of Saajan Musahar. On the appeal of PVCHR Parul Sharma and Swedish donor had raised 1, 20,000 INR and 50000 INR from Ravi Mishra Visual activist and his associates.

Therefore it is a kind and urgent request please provide monetary support for providing medical treatment on the given below bank detail. Please also write letter to Prime Minister of India pmosb@pmo.nic.in and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh cmup@up.nic.in for providing support to Saajan Musahar.
