New Delhi: Days after the Allahabad high court asked the Uttar Pradesh government what action had been taken in a 2020 custodial death case in Bulandshahr, the police has filed an FIR against three policemen and eight others allegedly involved in the incident.A judicial inquiry report had earlier been submitted in this matter.Neeraj Singh, station house officer (SHO) of Khurja (city), told the Times of India that the then SHO Khurja, the former police post in-charge Khurja (junction) and a constable at the police station have been charged under Sections 302 (murder), 201 (disappearance of evidence), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 218 (servant framing incorrect record or writing with intent to save person from punishment).The FIR, he continued, was filed based on the complaint filed by the victim’s mother, Suresh Devi.On March 25, the Allahabad high court had asked the additional chief secretary, Uttar Pradesh, to submit a personal affidavit detailing what steps had been taken. The bench of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Rajnish Kumar had noted then that the judicial inquiry report made it clear that the victim had died in policy custody, and police personnel were responsible for his death.“In matters of this kind we expect the higher officers to be sensitive to the deprivation of liberty and to immediately proceed to take appropriate action, as is warranted in law. We are not convinced with the version of the State that it is a case of suicide by the victim, as the judicial inquiry has come to a different conclusion. An appropriate report ought to have been lodged under Section 154 and investigation ought to have progressed. Claim for payment of compensation also ought to have been considered,” the court said.The victim’s mother had moved the high court saying that her son had been subjected to torture and murder because he entered an inter-caste marriage.
