Jaipur: Rajasthan Human Rights Commission has imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh on a police inspector and One lakh rupees on a constable. In fact, the two policemen are alleged to have implicated a 70-year-old man in a false NDPS Act. The Commission has ordered the state government to collect fines from both the police personnel from their salaries. The Commission has also directed to pay compensation of Rs 5 lakh to senior citizens within two months. The Commission has also asked the government to pay a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the senior citizen within two months.
The Chairman of the Commission, Justice G K Vyas also directed the government not to appoint an erring police inspector as the police station in charge of any police station for the next five years. Taking cognizance of the investigation of a senior police officer, Justice Vyas gave a clean chit to the elderly man. He has acquitted Bhakar Ram Bishnoi, a resident of Phalodi, while hearing his plea. The petition was said to have been implicated in a false case of possessing opium and doing business. After the petition was filed, senior police officers on the orders of the panel found that Bishnoi was implicated by the then SHO Sitaram of Jamba police station in Jodhpur in connivance with two constables Bhagwanaram and Karnaram of his police station in 2012.
Police arrested him showing recovery of 3 kg of opium from his house and registered a case against him under the NDPS Act. Based on the FIR registered against Bishnoi, the magistrate had sent him to judicial custody and had to spend more than five months in jail. Taking the matter seriously, Justice Vyas said that it is a serious case of human rights violation in which a 70-year-old man had to spend five months in jail as part of a conspiracy hatched by policemen who implicated him in a crime. He said it is not possible to assess the mental agony caused by the jail to the victim and the loss of his image and reputation in society.
