Chandigarh police tortures youngsters to impotence

Another police brutality and yet again elusive justice

Chandigarh: It is a well known fact in India that the general public is more afraid of the police than the goons. The general public avoids going to a police station till the time they are left with no other option. The reason why its so is apparent by pursuing many recent cases of police torture and brutality.  One such incident happened recently in Chandigarh where three youths were allegedly tortured by the Chandigarh Police. After the electric shocks directed at their genitals and earlobes, two of them have become sexually impotent and one of them also lost his normal hearing capacity to a large extend. 

After some media personnel in Chandigarh exposed the misdeeds of Chandigarh police and after some social workers helped two of the youths to make a formal complaint to the senior officers; Chandigarh police unwillingly ordered an inquiry into the allegations of police torture. Interestingly the inquiry was marked to the same office (DSP Crime) which was alleged to have tortured the youths and made them sexually impotent. Predictably the Chandigarh police DSP-Crime gave a clean chit to his own office, the crime branch, and found that no electric shocks were ever given to the youngsters. Interestingly the DSP crime videographed the brief inquiry conducted inside the police headquarters in the presence of those very officers who had allegedly tortured the two youths. The Chandigarh Police recorded the statement of the victims (to prove its own innocence) but failed to video-graph the statement of its own police officers who had allegedly committed the offence and against whom the complaint was directed. This inquiry is another perfect example where the victims are treated like criminals and further mentally and emotionally tortured to intimidate them. No surprise that the victims have now no fantasy of hope for justice left and so desperately want to get out of this mess (As they perceive the whole case now). 

We moved a complaint (Number 60/27/2006-2007 - available at http://www.nhrc.nic.in/display.asp?fno=60/27/2006-2007) to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) around a month back regarding the incidence but unfortunately the NHRC, which should have acted within 24 hours, has not even started the inquiry on the complaint. In the meantime the poor victims have been intimidated using many other strategic tactics and thereby the police has successfully managed to get statements signed  from the victims that they want to withdraw the complaint made against the Chandigarh Police. 

You can yourself watch and listen to the entire story (video) online to do your own inquiry into the facts. Judge for yourself whether the police has done a sham/fair enquiry or the media and the social activists brought out the correct facts.

Brief summary of facts/allegations of human rights involved
 
  1. The Chandigarh Police, Crime branch picked up Suresh Munda (22 Year) and Roshan Kujur (17 years) on October 15, 2006 to interrogate them for a murder case on the basis that they used to visit a women in the neighbourhood of the house where murder was committed.
  2. Both these victims were taken to Sector 11 Police station on Oct. 15 at around 10:30 a.m. and thereafter were mercilessly beaten.
  3. Subsequently both Suresh Munda (22 Year) and Roshan Kujur (17 years) were given electric shocks through their penis, on their ear lobes and other sensitive body parts.
  4. Both the victims lost their sexual potency as a result of electric shocks given on their penis and private parts. However according to the PGI report Roshan Kujur has recovered the sexual erectile dysfunction to a limited extend the doctors state that Suresh Munda is not likely to ever recover from the damage and is now impotent for life.
  5. Mr. Roshan Kujur also suffers from permanent hearing loss due to the electric shocks given by the Chandigarh Police.
  6. After the above mentioned victims went to the hospital and the permanent loss of potency and hearing was established; both electronic and print media including the Daily Pioneer & Dainik Bhaskar reported about the police torture and inhuman acts by the Chandigarh Police.
  7. Subsequently the Chandigarh Police again called both the victims to police station and detained them for the whole day so that they are unable to approach the media or seek any other relief through any legal forum or court.
  8. During the last conversation with the victims, the victims had alleged that they have been moved to an undisclosed location against their will. They expressed their willingness to move the courts and other legal agencies but were being prevented from doing so.

(P.S: We have other video and audio material too. We are willing to provide it to anyone who is willing to get involved and help take this matter to its logical conclusion.)
