The allegations of police inaction have been found true by the Range DIG. The Investigating Officer has not only diluted the case but also did not collect the evidence and has thus favored the offenders. The aforesaid act as found true of the Investigating Officer during the enquiry has violated human rights of the victim. In these circumstances, let a notice u/s18 of Protection of Human Rights, Act, 1993 be sent to the Government of UP through its Chief Secretary to Show Cause within six weeks as to why an amount of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousands only) may not be recommended to be paid to the victim. A notice be also sent to the DGP, UP calling upon him to submit the details of departmental action taken against the delinquent police personnel within this period.” A considerable period has elapsed but no response has been received from the Chief Secretary, Govt. of UP and DGP, UP.

In these circumstances, the Commission recommends to the Chief Secretary, Govt. of UP to pay an amount of Rs.50,000/- to the victim and submit a report along with proof of payment within four weeks.

The reporter named Emmy Ci Lawbei had reached the border on Saturday morning. According to her, as she was reporting, members of a Mizo students' body clashed with the Assam Police. A group of journalists, including Lawbei, were caught in the clashes and were lathicharged by the cops. The police also fired in the air to disperse the crowd in which two people were reportedly injured

The police had on Wednesday, clamped prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPc with immediate effect of Hailakandi district, bordering Mizoram. According to the police, the move followed "information from reliable sources that some individuals and organisations from the Mizoram side are planning to intrude into Assam's territory with the intention to encroach forest land and erect permanent structures, including religious structures."

Tension has been prevailing in the area ever since some members of Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), an apex student body, entered Assam and erected a working shed and a temporary checkpost, which were later dismantled by the state police personnel, according to the police.

The police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officers will be stationed along the border

Last month, two journalists were assaulted on their duty sparking outrage.
