Sub. : Harassment and violation of Constitutional & Human Rights of
(1) Vishwanath Yadav  by SDM (Sadar) Gorakhpur Neha Prakash and (2) of
Sunil Chaudhary by SDM Allahabad Trainee IAS Harshita Mathur :
Complaint to initiate inquiry and take punitive action against the
perpetrator Lady IAS officers.



Sir,
Sir/madam
TAHRIR ( Transparency, Accountability & Human Rights initiative for
revolution ) is a  Bareilly/Lucknow based Social Organization, working
at grass-root level by taking up & solving issues related to
strengthening transparency & accountability in public life and
protection of Human Rights in India.



We are now writing to express our grave concern regarding two cases of
harassment and gross violations of human rights of two persons by
utter misuse of power by two lady IAS officers of Uttar Pradesh.



We have come to know through newspapers that a gardener employed at
the state-run Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant park in Gorakhpur has claimed
that he had to go jail for “disobeying” SDM (Sadar) Neha Prakash when
she asked him to stop cutting grass at the park as she was allergic to
it. Neha, on her part, said that she had complained to the police
against Yadav.Vishwanath Yadav, who was arrested and booked under
Section 151 of the Indian Penal Code (disturbing public peace), was
released later by city magistrate Satish Pal on two sureties of Rs 1
lakh each.Speaking to mediapersons after walking out of the jail,
Yadav said the incident took place early morning on Tuesday when he
was cutting grass and the SDM was taking a walk in the park. “She
asked me not to cut the grass as she was allergic to it. Once she was
a good distance away, I started cutting the grass again. This angered
her and she threatened me.”Though Neha, on her part, claimed that she
had played no role in Yadav’s arrest.“Everyday, I go to the park for
yoga. On Tuesday too, I was practising yoga when the gardener started
cutting the grass. I asked him to stop as it was spewing dust, but he
didn’t listen.”She added that other women in the park had told her
that Yadav misbehaved with them and made obscene gestures. Neha,
however, reiterated that she had not complained to the the police
against Yadav.Following Yadav’s release, Gorakhpur Commissioner Rakesh
Kumar Ojha said: “Whatever the matter was has now been resolved.”



In another incident, SDM Allahabad Trainee IAS Harshita Mathur got
Sunil Chaudhary arrested for allegedly his taking a selfie  pic with
SDM while handing over a Memorandum for removal of a Red Light Areas
to her.

Such type of autocratic behavior by public servants with their masters
( public ) is highly objectionable and cannot be taken for granted
lest it becomes a routine and leads to a situation of complete
wreckage of constitutional rights of citizen UP.


We are bringing forth these cases where freedom of expression, general
laws & humanitarian law are under attack in UP. This is a case where
authorities have harassed and intimidated citizens.  That, these two
IAS have  arbitrarily got the two citizen arrested by invoking CrPC
151,this kind of intimidation leads to massive censorship on freedom
of expression, general laws & humanitarian law and when freedom of
expression, general laws & humanitarian law are suppressed, the
people’s constitutional right to dignified  life is grossly violated.



Government of  Uttar Pradesh has been slow to address many areas of
concern in humanitarian sphere, and has demonstrated what appears to
be a more hard-line attitude in some areas such as restrictions on
freedom of expression. There is a worsening pattern from 2012 to 2015
of harassment, intimidation and target threats against citizen and
human rights
defenders, many of whom have been forced to exile .



We are requesting you to take appropriate actions to ensure that the
government of Uttar Pradesh  should establish a transparent regime of
working in public life and ensure encouragement protection of Human
Rights of its citizen and Human Rights defenders with no more
humiliation to them at all. We are also requesting your good-self to
look into these two  particular cases of harassment and gross
violations of human rights of two persons by utter misuse of power by
two lady IAS officers of Uttar Pradesh and  to initiate inquiry and
take subsequent punitive action against the said perpetrator as per
the law of the land.




Looking forward to your immediate action in this regard,

Yours sincerely,

Sir/madam
TAHRIR ( Transparency, Accountability & Human Rights initiative for
revolution ) is a  Bareilly/Lucknow based Social Organization, working
at grass-root level by taking up & solving issues related to
strengthening transparency & accountability in public life and
protection of Human Rights in India.

We are now writing to express our grave concern regarding the
murderous assault on tribal Human Rights Defender Mr.AkluChero and
illegal arrest and detention of Human Rights Defenders Mr.Gambheera
Prasad (President, Kanhar Dam VirodhiSangarshSamiti, Sonbhadra),
activists Mr. Pankaj Gautam and Mr.AsarsiYadav by the Uttar Pradesh
police for protesting against the Kanhar Dam construction.


Source of Information on the Incident:
•       The Regional Coordinator of HRDA for the North of India
•       Media reports


The Human Rights Defender:
Mr.AkluChero is an active member of Kanhar Dam VirodhiSangarshSamiti,
Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh which is a people’s organization formed in
2002 to protest the construction of Kanhar Dam which will submerge 87
villages on completion. He has been fighting for the rights of the
poor tribal villagers of the region whose livelihood is affected by
the dam. Mr.AkluChero has been involved for over 6 years now in
mobilizing and educating the tribal people to defend their rights.
Mr.Gambheera Prasad is the President of Kanhar Dam
VirodhiSangarshSamiti, Sonbhadra and is leading the movement against
the dam construction.
Mr. Pankaj Gautam and Mr.AsarsiYadav are active members of the Samiti.


The Perpetrators:
Uttar Pradesh Police – Mr.KapilDevYadav of Duddhi Police Station,
Sonbhadra in particular


Date of Incident:
14th of April, 2015


Place of Incident:
The Kanhar Dam Site in Babin block in the Sonbhadra District of the
Northern Indian State of Uttar Pradesh


Incident detail:
According to the sources, on the 14th of April, 2015 Mr.AkluChero, a
member of the CheroParhaiyya tribe and resident of Sundari village was
shot from point blank range by Inspector Mr.KapilDevYadav of Duddhi
police station in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh. It took place at the
Kanhar dam project site, 13 kilometres from Duddhi town where tribal
villagers were protesting against the dam project under the banner of
Kanhar Dam VirodhiSangarshSamiti, Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh.
According to sources the police inspector fired three shots, one in
the air, one shot at AkluChero with the intention to kill him and one
shot at his own hand to establish that he was attacked by the
protesters and he opened fire in self - defense. The bullet pierced
through the upper left part of Mr.Chero’s chest and came out from the
back. He was rushed to the city hospital from where he was referred to
the Benaras Hindu University hospital. Mr.Chero barely managed to
survive this attempt on his life. He was asked to be admitted in the
hospital for 45 days for treatment. The villagers have preserved the
spent bullet shells. Mr.Chero has been provided any financial help by
the district administration for his treatment. Villagers are
collecting money to help him.
The sources also claim that two defenders who accompanied Mr.AkluChero
to the Benaras Hospital went missing. After the protest and
intervention by Mr.SandeepPandey (Roman Magsasay Awardee), the
district magistrate came out with an order. The two missing defenders
are suspected to be in police custody. In the incident 16 women human
rights defenders were also injured.  Mr.Gambheera Prasad, the
President of Kanhar Dam VirodhiSangarshSamiti, Sonbhadra, Uttar
Pradesh who is representing the case against the dam in UP High Court
was arrested by the Special Task Force, UP police from Allahabhad on
21st April along with activist Mr.Mr. Pankaj Gautam village Korchi,
Duddhi and Mr.AsarsiYadav of Bhisur village who were picked from
Robertsganj. They have not been granted bail so far. Another activist
Mr. Shiv Prasad Kharwar has been reported missing after the police
action.


Background to the incident:
The villagers are against the project as it will destroy around 2,500
hectares of dense forests and submerge 87 villages once it comes up.
Tribes like Bhooinus, Kharwars, Gondhs, Cheros and Panikas who
dominate the region have also not been informed about the
environmental and social impacts of the project as mandated by laws.
In 1973, the Central Water Commission proposed a dam on the
Kanharriver which originates in Chhattisgarh, passes through Jharkhand
and then enters Uttar Pradesh. The Kanhar dam project was first
conceived in 1976 to provide irrigational facilities to Dudhi and
Robertsganj tehsils of Sonbhadra district in southeast Uttar Pradesh.
Land was partially acquired between 1978 and 1982 and people received
compensation at the time. However, the project remained a non-starter
due to the alleged non-availability of funds for several years.
The Uttar Pradesh government finally started construction work on
December 5, 2014. Nineteen days later, the National Green Tribunal
(NGT) stayed further construction at the dam site after a petition was
filed before it by DebadiyoSinha. Sinha alleged that the project could
not be started based on clearances obtained in the 1980s. It required
a fresh assessment taking into account the significant environmental
changes which occurred in the past 30 years, he argued.
As part of protest against the state government’s decision, the gram
sabhas of all the affected villages also filed a petition in the
Allahabad High Court regarding discrepancies in the land acquisition
process.
In January 2015, Sinha approached the court with a contempt petition
against the Uttar Pradesh government for its non-compliance with the
NGT’s directive. On February 4, 2015, NGT sought a reply from the
state government, but the latter failed to comply within the
stipulated 10-day period.
On February 21, NGT sought a report from the Union environment
ministry within a week and set March 4, 2015, as the final hearing
date, according to news reports. At this hearing, the project
proponent was asked to produce the forest clearance report. Since the
state government failed to do so, NGT granted them time to produce the
valid forest approval at the next hearing on March 12, 2015.
However, for the second time in a row, the ministry failed to comply
with the green body’s directive. It was first asked to submit a
compliance report on February 19 about the progress made by the UP
government on the Kanhar dam construction. The matter was reserved for
judgement by NGT in its order dated March 24, 2015.


Appeal :
We, therefore urge you to immediately take necessary steps to ensure
that the Superintendent of Police and the District Collector and
District Magistrate of Sonbhadra

entities, NGOs and other partners.
•       Recommend urgently and speedily during the pendency of this
complaint, the State Government of Uttar Pradesh in collaboration with
the SHRC Uttar Pradesh to publicly acknowledge the importance and
legitimacy of the work of human rights defenders, i.e. anyone who,
“individually and in association with others, promote[s] and strive[s]
for the protection and realization of human rights and fundamental
freedoms at the national and international levels” (Art.1 of the
Declaration on Human Rights Defenders).
•       More generally, ensures in all circumstances the respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with in accordance with
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and with international human
rights instruments ratified by India.

Looking forward to your immediate action in this regard,
Yours sincerely,
