State Human Rights Commissioner Justice Birakishore Mishra on his way to attend a seminar at the Narasinghpur College was shocked to find a young man tied and left naked on his verandah.
With inputs from Narasinghpur Tehsildar Seshadev Mishra, he knew that the person was son of Iswar Mohapatra of Kuranja Village under Kanpur police limits.
He directed Tehsildar Mishra to rescue the person immediately and admit him in the SCB Medical College and Hospital. As per reports, the bonded youth was about 30 years of age and was suffering from mental disorder for last 10 years.
In the seminar, he expressed concern over violation of rights and said that even a dead body also comes under the scanner of the rights panel and must not be left without care.
Citing the issue of Dana Majhi and several others, he told that a body must be respected and last rites must be observed as p-er religious tradition. Justice Mishra said that rights and duties must go hand in hand.
Special Arm Forces Police IG Sanjeev Panda among others spoke. The seminar was organised by Narasingpur College in association with local NGO called SHARP.
