The Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission (MPHRC) has recommended to the State Government that all the Inspector-Generals of Police (IGPs) should instruct all the Superintendents of Police (SPs) that cases of the citizens arrested under Section 151 CrPC should be reviewed minutely and seriously, so that it could not be misused for violating human rights of the citizens.
The MPHRC further told the State Government that the police station in-charge should be made responsible for the illegal works carried out in the police stations because until they are not made responsible for the wrong doings in the police stations, the misdeeds would keep on going. This is necessary because when the police station in-charge is responsible for every work of the police station, then why not he be made responsible for any wrong doing in the police station though might have done by his subordinate staff.
The MPHRC has sought report from the Shamshabad SP over complaint by Rajesh Ahirwar and Mukesh Ahirwar. The SP did not submit the report then the Commission got the case investigated through its team. The Additional Director General (ADG) of the commission through its report informed that Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) Irshad Ansari of Shamshabad police station arrested seven persons including lal Ahirwar and Ramkrishna Ahirwar in section 510 of the IPC that is non-cognisable crime and the ASI by taking action in it, has violated the human rights of freedom of these people.
Santosh Ahirwar and Bhura Ahirwar were arrested and put behind bars by Sub Inspector (SI) Mangal Singh under section 151 of the CrPC; during investigation, it was found that the arrest was uncalled for because both these persons were not going to commit any cognisable crime.
The Commission sought clarification from the police personnel found guilty of violating human rights and misuse of section 510 of the IPC and 151 of the CrPC. In that it was informed that the head constable Dhanraj Meeda and ASI Ansari were punished with censure in the case while SI GS Rajput was also punished with censure.
