On 14th March, 2018 Hon’ble court ordered for non – bail able warrant against the involved police officials in the extra- judicial killing of Shyamu. In this regard the Superintendent of police from Hatras, Aligarh, Kasganj and Firozabad were informed for the presence of the involved police official on 5th April, 2018 in the court. Shri Manveer Singh (the brother of the deceased Shyamu) lodged FIR against the police officials of SOG, Aligarh in crime no. 364/12 U/S 147/342/302 IPC in Kwaras Police Station. After investigation of this case, FR was filed in the Court which was rejected by the Hon’ble Court of CJM, Aligarh.
Shyamu along with his brother Ramu went to village Rustampur to meet his sister. They were picked up on 15.04.2012 at 11.30 a.m. by the SOG, Aligarh team and taken to Police Station Kwarsi for investigation. Both were taken to Police Outpost / Police.
Shyamu Singh died in police custody at Kwarsi police station on April 15, 2012, in Aligarh district, Uttar Pradesh state, police said that Singh had committed suicide. But his brother, Ramu Singh, who was arrested with him, said that after being arrested they were both stripped down to their underwear and tortured:
[The police officers] put us down on the floor. Four people held me down and one man poured water down my nose continuously. I couldn’t breathe. Once they stopped on me, they started on Shyamu. Shyamu fell unconscious. So they started worrying and talking among themselves that he is going to die. One of the men got a little packet and put the contents in Shyamu’s mouth.
Family members filed a police complaint against seven police officers alleging death due to torture. Since that time, the police have repeatedly stalled efforts to ensure accountability. Ramu told Human Rights Watch that he faced threats and harassment by the police for pursuing his brother’s case:
The police used to tell me I have become a sore wound for them that needs to be cut out: “You have become that for us. Beware or the same thing that happened to Shyamu will happen to you.”
In the case no 1270/24/3/2012-ad Hon’ble Commission directed for CD/ CID (UP) an enquiry into this mater. But, before the receipt of CB/CID enquiry report from the DGP/UP or the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi (the complainant to NHRC) has sent the CB/CID enquiry report (signed by the Divisional Officer, CB/CID, Agra Division on 15.05.2014) to the Commission which reveals that enquiry officer concluded that alleged police officials picked up deceased Shyamu and his brother Ramu from house forcibly, took them to Police Post Talangri, tortured them, poured water into the nose of deceased Shyamu and even administered him poisonous substance due to which Shyamu died. The enquiry officer recommended that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute the alleged police officials U/S 147/342/302/328 IPC.
