Administration committing indiscriminate repression and fabricating criminal charges against persons belonging to Muslim minority in UP, India


Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights – URGENT APPEAL PROGRAMME

Urgent Appeal Case: PVCHR-UAC-0M1-2011

14 May 2011
------------------------------------------------------
Uttar Pradesh: administration committing repression and fabricating criminal charges against the persons belonging to Muslim minority

ISSUES: Indiscriminate police repression; torture; fabrication of charges; illegal detention
------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends,

On 16 February, 2011, an incident of communal violence took place at the Sahaspur village in Moradabad district. Following this unfortunate incident, Uttar Pradesh state police, Rapid Action Force (RAF) and Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) committed brutal repression of the persons belonging to the Muslim minority in the village. The human rights activists, associated with Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR), Bunkar Dastkar Adhikar Manch, visited the village to collects the facts and to know the circumstances which led to the communal conflict at the occasion of the festival of Barawafat.

CASE DETAILS:

PVCHR is a human rights organization operating from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. It is an organization of good reputation and has several nationally and internationally known human rights activists associated with its daily work. Since inception, PVCHR has been actively engaged in reporting and intervening in human rights cases, particularly concerning the violence committed by the law enforcement agencies in Uttar Pradesh. The PVCHR has reported through its Urgent Appeals Programme many cases of rights violation. Most of these cases have exposed atrocities committed by the Uttar Pradesh state police, Rapid Action Force (RAF) and Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC).

 

The Sahaspur village under Bilari police station is at a distance of 27 Km from Moradabad city. This village has a total population of almost 15000, population of majority Hindu community is almost 8000 and the population of Muslim community is 7000. Until 16 February, 2011, the Sahaspur village was well known for its religious tolerance and communal harmony. The most popular Hindu festivals, Holi and Dashahara, are celebrated more by the Muslims than that of the Hindus in this village.

 

It is informed that the last time in 2010 the path which was being traditionally used for the procession at the occasion of Barawafat was found to be damaged condition and at that time it had been suggested by the Hindus themselves to take out the procession through another path. But this time on 16 February, 2011, at the occasion of Barawafat, as the procession advanced on the new path, as had been suggested by the Hindus in 2010, the village head Mr. Kishan Singh Jatav, accompanied by others youth, mostly associated with Hindu Jatava community, refused to let the procession pass through the new path and asked to go back.

 

Local Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM), who was at the spot and escorting the procession, at first tried to talk with the Hindus and convince them to let the procession pass through the new path. But it is alleged that at the same time SDM received a telephone call on his mobile and after that he ordered to get the procession back, as to walk through the traditional path. This gave rise to resentment among Muslims youth and they wanted from the SDM to let the procession pass through the same path. Meantime, allegedly, stone pelting started on the procession from the roofs of the Hindu Jatavas' community. Responding to this sudden attack on the procession, Muslims youth also started stone pelting on the Jatavas. Police resorted to Lathi charge and people began to run away to save themselves and it caused stampede at the spot. A 12 years old Muslim boy named Shahibe Ali son of Mr. Abdul Haque got seriously injured and taken to the hospital but he succumbed to his injuries next day.

 

It is alleged that soon after the incident the forces of Rapid Action Force and P.A.C. were called on and they exploded tear gas, broke off the doors and entered the houses of Muslims and beat indiscriminately women, children and old aged persons. It is alleged that on the one hand Jatavas were looting but on the other hand police were busy in beating. Mohd Hafiz, a victim of the incident, told that police were beating the women and children and arresting the young and old aged persons.

 

It is informed that an FIR, against the 27 persons by name and hundreds other unknown persons belonging to Muslim minority, was lodged at the Bilari police station. The whole population of the Muslim community was living under extremely frightening situation in the village. Many other have left the village. 

     

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

According to the fact finding report submitted by the team of human rights activists, the local administration had already been informed of the possible dispute, regarding the path of the procession of the Barawafat that might take place during the procession. But, as alleged by the rights groups, no precautionary action, on the part of the administration, was taken to avoid the dispute by ensuring safe path to the procession. It is informed that even the local administration had been failed to stop the police atrocities, colluding with the Hindu Jatav's community, on the Muslims of Sahaspur village.

 

It is noteworthy that hundreds of Muslims have been implicated in serious criminal cases following the incident of communal dispute at Sahaspur village but no person from Hindu majority community has been implicated in a criminal case for inciting communal violence and committing atrocities against the persons and families belonging to Muslim minority. But according to the report of the fact finding team, doors of the Muslim houses were found broken, damaged looms, burning of factory of Muslim weavers and serious injuries to many of them.

 

Ii is ironic that media have also played very prejudiced role and never seem to be interested in to bring forth the atrocities committed by police on the Muslim community. Till the date local or national media have shown no inclination to study the horror and sufferings through which the Muslim community is going through at the Sahaspur village and to make it public. 

 

Though the Moradabad district is listed as a Minority Concentrated Districts and Prime Minister's 15 point programme for welfare of Minorities is in effect in this district but National Minority Commission has taken no action against the atrocities committed against the Muslim community at Sahaspur village in Moradabad district.

 

Full fact finding report in Hindi at: http://muslim-minority.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post.html

 

 

SUGGESTED ACTION:


Please write to the persons and institutions listed below to call for to take action against the police and persons involved in inciting communal violence and committing atrocities on the persons and families belonging to Muslim minority at Sahaspur village and set up an inquiry to find the reasons which led to the unfortunate communal violence in the village. 

 

Please be informed that the PVCHR is writing separate letters to the UN Special Rapporteurs on India, torture, and Minority situation, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, calling for immediate interventions into this case.

I find it remarkable that even as the Uttar State Government claims to be a secular government and a protector of Muslim minority, it is committing atrocities on the Muslim minority and implicating them falsely on spurious claims of alleged involvement in communal violence.

According to the information I have received, hundreds of persons belonging to Muslim minority are currently implicated in serious criminal cases. I am informed that the police have no evidence with which to link the victims to the alleged crimes.

I also ask the Uttar Pradesh government to conduct inquiry in this case to investigate the allegations of police atrocities on the Muslim community and to punish the perpetrators. I also ask the state government to pay compensation to all those victims who have suffered serious physical injuries and have suffered loss of their property.

 
Finally, I take this opportunity to ask the Government of Uttar Pradesh to take into account the report prepared by the PVCHR and Bunkar Dastkar Adhikar Manch(http://muslim-minority.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post.html) and to take immediate action so that the truth can be revealed and this type of unfortunate situation of communal violence and police atrocities on the Muslim community could not be repeated.  

Yours sincerely,

In relation to an incident of custodial death in Aligarh district





 

Chairperson                                                                                  

National Human Rights Commission

New Delhi.

 

 

Respected Sir,

I want to draw your kind attention towards an incident of custodial death of Mr. Abdul Aziz son of Nasir Ali, aged about 59 years old, a resident of Kishori Bhawan, Anup Shahar Road under the Civil Lines police station in Aligarh district, Uttar Pradesh on 8th May, 2011. The deceased victim, Mr. Abdul Aziz was a fourth grade employee of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)

Next day on 09 May, 2011 an F.I.R. was  registered by Mr. Jamshed, the son of the deceased victim, against 8 persons, including two police officials associated with the Civil Lines police station under sections 302, 452, 323, 506, 102 B of Indian Penal Code.

According to the description given in the FIR, on 8 May, 2011 at around 10.30 pm, the deceased victim, Mr. Abdul Aziz was picked up forcefully from his house by Mr. Jalil Ahmad, a Sub Inspector and Mr. A. K. Tyagi, a S.S.I., both posted at Civil Lines police station and he was taken to the Civil Lines police station in a police jeep.

It is informed that when the relatives of the deceased victim went to the Civil Lines police station to know about the deceased, they were told that the deceased victim had been sent to the J. N. Medical College, AMU, Aligarh. When the relatives went to the J. N. Medical College, AMU, which is hardly 2 Km away from the Civil Lines police station, they came to know that Mr. Abdul Aziz had died.

Further, it is reported that a panel of two doctors conducted Post-Mortem of the deceased victim Mr. Abdul Aziz and it has revealed that Mr. Abdul Aziz death was caused by strangulation.

In the above incident of custodial death, the Sub Inspector Mr. Jalil Ahmad has been suspended. But despite named in the FIR, no action has been taken against Mr. A.K. Tyagi, S.S.I. of the Civil Lines police station.

In such an incident of brutal custodial death, I request you to give order to conduct a Magisterial Inquiry by Judicial Magistrate under Section 176 (1) A of Cr.P.C. immediately, compensation of Rupees 5 lakhs to the kin of deceased Abdul Aziz and provide protection to witness.

> Respected Sir,

> I want to bring your kind attention towards the detention of Mr. Upendra Nath Singh alias Guddu son of late Satya Narayen Singh resident of village Samudh pur under jurisdiction of Baluwa of Chanduali district of Uttar Pradesh.

> In the firing case of Nirman Nigam (construction department) police raided his house, when police did not find him, then they took Upendra's cousin brother Dhiraj Singh and nephew Bittu Singh in custody. Next day when Upendra Kumar went to Baluwa police station in Chandauli to enquire about the raid and detention of his two family members. Immediately he was detained and taken off to Varanasi.  The posted Superintendent of Police in Chandauli, Sri  Shalabh Mathur said the proceeding is done according to the direction of higher authority.

> On 27th April, 2011 around 1 pm Upendra Kumar brought to the Cantt police station from till that day onward he is tortured in the custody. Even family members are not allowed to meet him. From 29th April, 2011 the family is not aware about the place of his detention. The whole family is apprehensive that Police  may kill him in fake encounter. Upendra's wife Mamta Singh made complain with many higher authorities, but till now they did not have any information about him.

> For many days news was published in the various daily newspaper "police behaviour with the survivor" which is utterly violation of human rights. Hon'b Supreme Court gave direction in the case of D.K Basu vs. State of Bengal after increasing violence in custody.It is noted that Upendra owns the criminal background and now he is elected as an area panchayat.

> Therefore it is kind request please take immediate action for the release of Upendra from the custody or send him in judicial custody according the rule of law and action against the police personnel involved in the violation of Hon'b Supreme Court gave direction in the case of D.K Basu vs. State of Bengal. Because today a young man just fed up with the torture by varanasi police consumed poison and he died. The death of Upendra May happen in the custody.

> Thanking You
