Since 1993, I am working as a full time Human Rights Defender, for rights of survivors, in India. I live under constant death threats for my human rights work. Threat, intimidation, attack, false implication and defamation are occupational hazards of the process of social transformation towards a plural democracy based on rule of law, dignity, diversity, non-violence and justice. But, mysterious non-support of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), a premier human rights institution of India, in my cases as a Human Rights Defender, is a real life-time surprise for me[i].

I am busy in supporting the NHRC to deliver justice for the survivors of Human Rights abuses, since its inception. However, some system in the NHRC is bent on helping malign my image, or delaying the support process, or eye-wash tactics in matters related to my rights as a Human Rights Defender. An urgent appeal of the Asian Human Rights Commission, based in Hong Kong, (The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India fails to provide adequate remedy to a human rights defender in Uttar Pradesh), is a classic example[ii].

Every time, the Honorable High Courts of UP and Delhi have provided me with immediate and effective remedies, in comparison to the Human Rights Defenders desk of the NHRC. I appealed to the NHRC for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry into the systematic attack on me and Shruti Nagvanshi, due to People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights' (PVCHR's) support to a woman survivor and her family. But, there is no step towards any independent investigation by the NHRC, or real time support by Human Rights defenders desk too. There is only one trend that justice delay is justice denied. (Case No. 42218/24/72/2012)

In this case, we criticized the national and international players through our writing on blog and emailing. Now, a few international players are involved, to oppose us to establish the era of 'corporate fascism' in context of 'sectarian fascism' of Hindutva[iii].

Simultaneously, Shruti Nagvanshi and Shirin Shabana Khan intervened in the case of rape of a Danish woman, at Paharganj police station in New Delhi. Both of them are first complaints to the NHRC, but the NHRC did not send a report to them for comment, and marked the case as a closed case'.

Edmund Burke rightly says, "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." So, we are continuously pursuing the case for justice. We received the consequence of false implication by the police of Paharganj Police Station in New Delhi. I, and associates of PVCHR, filed many petitions, but the NHRC responded as mere eye-wash tactics. We received surprised responses from the Home Ministry of India and office of Honourable President of India, but there is a mysterious silence of the NHRC. Why?

India should develop a national law for the protection of human rights defenders, and strengthen the capacity and mandate of the NHRC's focal point on defenders.

The NHRC needs to establish and resource a full-time dedicated focal point, to intervene in cases where human rights defenders are at risk, and to investigate and promote accountability where threats and attacks occur.

This matter concerns not only the life and the reputation of a human rights defender, but also the very legitimacy of human rights work in general.

Please find systematic interim directions of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) with other facts:

NHRC issued notice to concern authorities calling for a report within four weeks on 13 December, 2012.

Proceedings on 25 March,2013:

NHRC again issue a notice to SSP Varanasi for reports within a week sharing put on 6.6.2013. Proceedings highlighted about no action by police.

Proceedings highlighted about apathy of police such as:

“……which shows that accused Shri Sunil Kumar Gupta, was being favored, while false cases were registered against complainant, who was trying to protect the rights of the victims, Smt. SapanaChaurasia. The accused Shri Sunil Kumar Gupta also threatened them and forced to reach a compromise, which was recorded and has been sent to the Commission in a CD. …… The complainant has alleged that the accused Shri Sunil Kumar Gupta,in collusion with the local police, is threatening the complainant and the victim with dire consequences, and their lives are under threat. The complainant has further alleged that he was threatened on 16 January, 2013 and matter was reported to the police but no action was taken. Thereafter, fake cases were registered against the complainant and his wife Shruti.”

“The Varanasi police officials have shown their anti-women attitude and are acting towards eliminating the human rights defenders. The complainant has requested that he along with wife Shruti, the victim SapanaChaurasia, the accused Sunil Gupta and concerned police officials should be summoned by the full Bench of the Commission to enquire in to matter in details; the offenders should be punished and adequate compensation should be recommended to the victims. He has requested a CBI enquiry of the entire matter and action against the delinquent police officials under section 166(A) IPC.”

“ As the complainant, a human rights defender has alleged serious threat to his life and his false implication in connivance with police, let the Principal Secretary (Home) Government of UP,Lucknow be asked to have all the cases registered in this regards by complainant and his wife, investigated by CBCID and to submit an action taken report within eight weeks. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Varanasi, UP be asked to ensure safety and security of complainant Dr.Lenin Raghuvanshi, his family and the victim Smt.Sapna Chaurasia.”

But we did not receive any security from state and NHRC did not ask and make any follow up with state Government for security. It is noted that PVCHR issued urgent appeal titled “ Threats to human rights defenders of PVCHR and Women Survivors in Varanasi”.[iv]

Proceedings 24.01.2014:

In the light of facts and circumstances of this case, let the DIG, investigation division get records of the case examined together with the version of petitioner on file within four weeks.

It is noted that PVCHR already sent report of CB/CID to NHRC and also PVCHR made point’s wise comment on it and asked for CBI investigation. But NHRC report and direction made mysterious silence on it.

Proceedings 19.04.2014:

The Commission has perused the detailed notings of the investigation Division and the papers placed in the file. In so far as the cases which are under consideration of the court, the Commission cannot intervene and the petitioner may ventilate his grievances before the adjudication court. The allegations of attempt on his life & his false implication are serious in nature. The petitioner has been a member of the Core Committee on NGO, in the Commission and has filed several cases in the Commission on violation of Human rights from across the country. In the lights of facts and circumstances of his case, let the DIG, Investigation Division of the Commission call the petitioner Dr, Lenin on a mutually convenient date and get his version recorded. Present status/outcome of the criminal cases as indicated recorded.

Proceedings 17/7/2016:

Investigation Division, NHRC has intimated that despite issuance of letter dated 17.05.2016 to the SSP, Varanasi followed by reminder dated 02.06.2016 and final reminder dated 19.10.2016 the requisite report on the present status of case Fir No. 199/13 PS Bhelupur, Varanasi, FIR No. 04/13 Mahila Police Station, Mahanagar, Sadar Varanasi, FIR No. 359/13 PS Cantt, Varanasi and FIR No, 418/13 PS Cantt, Varanasi has not been received so far.

Should however, the requisite report be received in the Commission on or before 12.05.2017, the personal appearance of the SSP, Varanasi shall stand dispensed with,

Proceedings 29/3/2017:

The Commission has noticed that Case No. 42218/24/72/2012 (Main File) L/F: 23165/24/72/2013, 39430/24/72/2013, 43425/24/2013, 40242/24/72/2014,43979/24/72/2012-WC,13100/24/72/2016-WC, 21574/24/72/2013, 4419/24/72/2013, 4490/24/72/2013, 16022/24/72/2013, 15443/24/72/2013, 15444/24/72/2013 & 22763/24/72/2013 are also pending regarding the same subject matter which have been tagged with this leading case as link case. The Commission is of the opinion that as all the proceedings are drawn and reports are placed in the (42218/24/72/2012) leading case, there is no use of keeping the link cases pending.

Therefore, the link cases be merged with the leading case and shown as closed in the computerized data base of the Commission. The leading case/main file to continue. The complainants of the link cases be informed that these cases have been merged with the leading case. They can view progress of their matter at the website of the Commission i.c www.nhrc.nic.in. The final disposal of the leading case shall be intimated to them accordingly

Proceedings 15.12.2017:

Commission takes a very serious view of the non-responsive attitude on the part of the SSP. Varanasi. Let Summons under section 13 of the PHR Act, 1993 be issued to the SSP, Varanasi to personally appear before the Commission on 20.2.2018 to explain his utter casual and callous attitude since the instant cases pertain to the year 2012. However, if the report is received a week prior to the scheduled date, his personal appearance shall stand dispensed with.

Proceedings 05.11.2018:

The complainant activist alleges that victim girl namely Smt. Sapna was forcibly produced before a notary public for attestation of so=-called marriage with one Sunil Kumar Gupta. She despite complaint, no action has been taken by the police.

Vide earlier proceedings dated 15.12.2017, the Commission had observed that despite reminders and threat of coercive process no report has been received from SSP Varanasi regarding present status of FIR NO 199/2013, 4/2013, 359/2013 & 418/2013. Hence Commission had issued summons u/s 13 of PHRA against SSP Varanasi to personally appear before the Commission on 20.2.2018 to explain his utter casual and callous attitude since the instant case pertains to the year 2012. However if the report is received a week prior to the scheduled date, his personal appearance shall stand dispensed with.

In response SP Crime Varanasi has inform the Commission vide report dated 27.8.2018, wherein its stated that in case no 359/13 u/s 307/452/341 IPC registered against the complainant, a final report was filed in the court and later on the investigation was handed over to CB/CID Lucknow wherein also again the same final report was filed after re-investigation. In case no 418/13 also a final report was filed in the court and later on the investigation was handed over to CB/CID Lucknow and again the same final report was filed u/s 323/504/506 IPC. In case no 199/13 a final report was filed in the court.

The Commission has considered the material placed on record. As in all the FIR’s police investigation is completed and now the matters are before the court to adjudicate. Hence nothing left at this stage for the commission to proceed further in the matter. Therefore the case is closed, in from the complainant accordingly.

Summary of non action and manipulation by NHRC as follows:

1. NHRC website[v] talked about intervention in false implication. But in case of false implication of a human rights defender, NHRC did eye wash tactics. NHRC waited to bring cases before courts. NHRC provided a lot of time to CB/CID and police for that reason. I submitted details point-wise protest report of CB/CID and asked for CBI investigation, but smartly NHRC did not talk about my comments on CB/CID report.
2. NHRC gave interim direction for security of Human Rights Defenders and victim on 26.09.2013 and also highlighted gave security threat too. But NHRC did not make any effort for compliance of its own direction. It is a sign of dangerous trend for protection of Human Rights defenders.
3. I wrote a letter to Chairperson of NHRC on 26 July, 2013[vi] about action against responsible police official under 166 A, IPC. I also demanded to file FIR on threat to me on 20^th Decemebr, 2012 and 16 January, 2013, but no mention about this demands and facts in NHRC direction. I also asked for CBI investigation too. But NHRC procedures in my case played smart mysterious silence game in favour of perpetrators.
4. If you observed all proceedings then you find that NHRC provided al long time to police department which is a way to justice delay is justice denied.
5. I found an important fact that Ms Jyotika Kalra ji assumed office as Member of the National Human Rights Commission on the 5th April, 2017[vii] and my case from Chairperson of NHRC to transferred to Smt. Jyotika Kalra and she provided direction on 15 December 2017 after proceeding on 19.04.2016. She puts my case on 20 February, 2018. Then she resigned from NHRC on 2 January, 2018 (according media report) and then she rejoined on 7 March, 2018. According Scorll[viii], among other factors that had compelled her to resign, Kalra mentioned the body’s alleged inefficiency in spreading awareness about human rights, its tendency to close cases quickly. I shocked to know that she closed my case on 5 November,2018. And she did not mention previous directions of NHRC and it shows her tendency to close cases quickly and superficially.

Please find follows detailed all directions of NHRC as follows:
