India: Threats to human rights defenders of PVCHR and Women Survivors in Varanasi


…………………………………………………………………………………………
Issue: Intimidation, right to life with dignity, threat to human rights defender, Violence against women
…………………………………………………………………………………………

Dear Friend,

Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) Secretary General / Executive Director Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi received a notice from police station of Catt in Varanasi on January 24, 2013 at around 2.30 pm on complain of perpetrator  Mr. Sunil Kumar Gupta on 16 January 2013, the day when the news were published after the press conference of survivor Mrs. Sapana Chaurasiya. But no action on complain on 3 December and 5 December 2012 about violence against woman, threat on December 16 and 20, 2012 by husband of Mrs. Sapana to Shruti Nagvanshi & Lenin Raghuvanshi respectively and again threat on Lenins’ mobile on 16 January 2013.

Case detail:

PVCHR office received a 23-year-old woman Sapana Chaurasiya who was in trouble due to the atrocities by her husband. He used to abuse her every now and then, attacked her dignity in public by humiliating her in front of people, sexually assaulted her and made MMS. She suffered all this at the hand of her husband. She was not allowed to talk to any of the relatives, friends or neighbours and was threatened of dire consequences if she would speak to someone.

It is possible that his previous wife too was tortured like this and out of frustration she committed suicide in the house. However he could convince the in-laws and there was no case filed against him therefore he has a high spirit to commit such offences against the woman he marry. He would take names of musclemen while talking and flaunt their names as in close proximity. One the victim tried lodging a complaint with the Khojwa police-out-post but instead of listening to her woes the cops there tried to convince and threaten her to go back.

Once when she was upset with the torture of her husband she escaped to her mother’s house. But then he sent her a packet in which there were her clothes that were cut in to tiny pieces. He told her that I have sent your clothes now but if you do not return back soon I will do the same with your children so if she wanted has children to live she should come back. Even then she refused to go back. Then her brother Shyamsunder was lifted by cops and held captive in the police station. He was set free only when she went back.




Testimony of Sapana Chaurasiya:
I am Sapana Chaurasiya age 23 years. My mother is Munni Devi and father late Ramnarayan Chaurasia, a resident of Samne Ghat (Shivaji Nagar Colony) police station Lanka, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. We are a family with two brothers and four sisters, of which I am the youngest sister.

I was sent by my mother along with a neighbourhood woman Kiran, who used to frequent our place often in Shivaji Nagar to get a picture clicked for my marriage. After getting the picture clicked the woman took me to Sandesh restaurant telling she wanted to offer me some sweets. But after some time there came a man called Sunil son of Kanhaiya Gupta, resident of B24/151, Kashmiri Ganj, Ram Mandir, Khojwa, police station Bhelupur along with few other friends. He came with friends Vinod, Dhobi, Banti and Lamboo and a lawyer and asked me to sign a paper. I started crying when they forced me to do so and I said how could I do this how could I marry like this? I told them my mother was not here and I cannot sign but Kiran forced me to sign. This was June 26, 2005.

Four days later I was forced to marry with him at a Shiv temple and he then took me home. As soon as I reached his home he started misbehaving with me in front of his other family members and when I resisted he slapped me in front of them. I was not aware about his family till then. It was after reaching his house that I got to know he had a son and a daughter (who were 17 and 15 years of age by then). I was not aware of all this till then. By the evening I told him that I will not stay any more with him then he convinced me to stay on making an excuse of illness. I thought it to be fait accompli and became ready to stay.

But my husband was a horrible man who abused me every now and then. There was nothing in between us as there is a sweet relationship between husband and wife in common. He never treated me like wife. Whenever I asked to leave for my mother’s house he would refuse permission. He made sure I do not talk to anyone in his family, among his relatives or friends. He had asked everyone and threatened them to stay away from me.

He never treated me like a wife is treated by her husband and neither did his family members considered me their daughter-in-law. In fact I never got treated as human in that house. My parents were not allowed to some and see me either.

My husband made MMS of our physical relationships and whenever I refused to make a relationship he threatened me that he would make those MMS public and defame me. He regularly threatened me that he would kill my brother.

His previous wife too had committed suicide probably out of this behavior in the house. However in absence of a legal case he is thinking himself safe.

My husband has been involved in many criminal activities. He takes names of musclemen while talking and flaunt their names as in close proximity. Once I had gone to lodge a complaint with the Khojwa police-out-post but instead of listening to her woes the cops there tried to convince and threaten me to go back.

Once when I was upset with the torture and escaped to her mother’s house he had sent me a packet in which there were clothes that was cut in to tiny pieces. He told me that I have sent your clothes now but if you do not return back soon I will do the same with your children so if I wanted children to live I should come back. Even then I refused to go back. Then my brother Shyamsunder was lifted by cops and held captive in the police station. He was set free only when I went back.

Sunil used to inject me medicines meant for mentally challenged person to make me mentally weak. My face went dry and I could not even take care of my little son who is 5 years old. When I became very ill due to the adverse impact of the medicines I was admitted to Banaras Hindu University (BHU) under a famous psychiatrist. There at the hospital the counselor asked me why I was not willing to live with my husband but out of fear I could not tell them the exact situation. Sunil has already fed the doctors and staff that his wife was not willing to live with him neither did she wanted to go anywhere with him.

Sunil used to change his behavior in front of others and acted as if he loved me a lot. His acting could have confused anyone.

Sunil continuously tried to make me mentally weak and often said if I die he would get enormous money. He had got my life insurance done.

Once when I was under serious impact of the medicine he gave me a horrible hair cut and then called up everyone to show me and said see she has gone mad and done such a haircut. I was unable to understand anything then and thought what was going on with me. Even today thinking of those days gives me chill.

If I go back my husband will kill me. I love my son a lot and want to live for him. To all I plead that if they want me to live I shall not be sent back to my husband’s house as I cannot live with him in any condition. I shall be given divorce and my son should be saved.

Testimony of Sapana Chaurasiya in Video:  http://vimeo.com/55757055

On 5th December, 2012 PVCHR sent letter to Director General of Police, National Women Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Home Secretary, Central Home Secretary, Senior Superintendent of Police and Shri Rahul Gandhi.

DGP complaint cell took cognizance and NHRC issued notice to Senior Superintendent of Police in case no. 42218/24/72/2012/UC dated 15 December, 2012 http://www.pvchr.net/2012/12/heard-to-unheard.html. In spite of taking action police is giving threat to Sapana Chaurasiya’s brother Shyam Sunder and due to fear he ranged to Sapana and said that she had to produce in Bhelupur police station for making statement.

Sunil Gupta along with one person came to PVCHR office on 16th December, 2012 at 8:30 pm when Lenin Raghuvanshi was in Mumbai. He talked with Ms. Shruti Nagvanshi, Managing Trustee of PVCHR for more than 45 minutes and continuously making pressure and willingness to meet his wife. Again Sunil Gupta came nearly 8.30 AM of 20th December, 2012 to office and threaten to Dr. Lenin.  Lenin received treat call on his mobile +91-9935599333 from mobile number +91-9452302585 on 11:52 AM of 16th January 2013 and Lenin immediately filed complain to NHRC and SSP, Varanasi by registered letter and email. http://www.petition-nhrc.blogspot.in/2013/01/fwd-0.html
After all interventions and no action or negative action by Varanasi police, Survivor Sapana organized press conference on 23 January 2013 and media published in very sensitive way.

On 24 January 24, 2013 Lenin received notice from police on complain of perpetrator Mr. Sunil Kumar Gupta on 16 January 2013 to superintendent of police (City).SP (City) Varanasi immediately issued letter to Circle office of Cantt area in Varanasi to inquiry against letter by letter number S.T./Nagar-05/13 Dated 16 January 2013. It is a threat to the security of Sapana and the activists of PVCHR. Immediately again Lenin petitioned to NHRC, Home Secretaries at central and state, Governor of UP, Chief Minister, DGP, IG,SSP and SP City. http://www.pvchr.net/2013/01/blog-post_24.html

Testimony Of Lenin Raghuvanshi:

The victim Sunita Chaurasia had conducted a press conference on January 23, 2013 and the related news items got published the next day.On January 24, 2013 the day when the news were published a constable from the Cantonment police station reached my place at around 2.30 pm and gave a notice.
The notice read that on the basis of the complaint filed by perpetrator Mr Sunil Kumar Gupta on January 16, 2013 a probe is being conducted by the SP (city) Varanasi.
It may be mentioned that on December 20, 2012 Sunil Kumar Gupta had come to my office and threatened me and after that I had filed a complaint letter with the senior superintendent of police, Varanasi through registered post ( Registry Number: EU13130760IN dated December 21, 2012).
But there has been no action on my letter. In the letter I had written that Sunil Kumar Gupta has threatened to get the organization trapped viciously. Not only this the women cell of the Varanasi police has been threatening and pressurizing after the victim Sapna Chaurasia wrote a letter on December 03, 2012 and the letter sent by me on December 05, 2012. After this the victim Sapana again sent a letter on January 19, 2013 against misbehave of women cell of district police and myself on January 22, 2013 to the senior superintendent of police about mal-treatment by patriarchal women cell of police in Varanasi.

Not only this, the National Human Rights Commission(NHRC) has directed the SSP, Varanasi through its letter on December 15, 2012 to probe the matter and sent back a report in 4 weeks (case number 42218/24/72/2012/UC). Apart from this the Varanasi police has hushed up the matter of unnatural death by hanging of Soni Gupta the first wife of Sunil Kumar Gupta in 2002 (post mortem report number 1280/2002). This indicates the connection and power of Sunil Kumar Gupta and the role of Varanasi police.

If the statement of Sapna Chaurasia in affidavit given before the SSP, Varanasi is read  and her video statement is viewed http://vimeo.com/55757055, then it is clear that Sapna Chaurasia has named Sunil Kumar Gupta to be involved in several illegal actions and she has also said that he used to name mafiaso. I have also got calls from several white collar people in the city to get myself away from this case.
I fully understand that the police-mafia nexus might make attempt to kill me or my family members or try to get me trapped in bogus case. I have been threatened so on December 20, 2012 and January 16, 2013.
Therefore, I request that I, my family, Sapna Chaurasia and her family be protected and a probe should be conducted at high level by the CBCID or CBI due to involvement of corrupts in all sectors such as media, police, NGOs, lawyers, relatives etc, because I received many calls and advises from them to withdrawal my petition and support. First time in my life, I am feeling that my death is so near. I believe in life before death like Jesus, so I am going to fight up to my death against corrupt and patriarchal elements. If I will be died, please support to people of PVCHR and provide care to my son. It is my testimony on the birthday of my son Kabeer karunik on 24 January 2013.     

More information:
It has been 65 years since India — the largest democracy in the world — attained independence.

Yet, justice for all is still a far cry in the country where the caste system continues to determine political, social, and economic lives of a billion people.
Money and muscle power, together with political string-pulling, often result in denial of justice for the hapless ‘have-nots’, especially the Dalits (untouchables), ravaged by poverty and illiteracy.

Atrocities and extortion on the Dalits, fake encounters, refusal to register complaints against the well-heeled, arbitrary arrests on false charges, illegal detention and custodial deaths are in commonplace.

In the absence of a modern social audit system, the keepers of the law often unleash a ‘police raj’, especially in rural India. A crippled National Human Rights Commission and its state subsidiaries with limited recommendatory control and a dysfunctional Legal Aid System depict a gloomy picture indeed.

In a unique way, Lenin Raghuvanshi, a veteran human rights activist, fighting the case-studies primarily drawn from Uttar Pradesh, registering the highest rate of crime against the Dalits, chronicles how with implicit support from the administration, the Dalits are tortured and subjected to humiliation by the higher castes, like being garlanded with shoes, their faces blackened or being forced to ride an ass; yet, in most of the cases, violence, deaths or custodial tortures that are committed against the marginalised and deprived castes go unrecorded.

Ironically, even after having shed the colonial yoke, its legacy continues in the administrative framework of our independent India marked with widespread corruption which has rendered many government-sponsored schemes in rural India a failure.

Lenin Raghuvanshi, an Ayurvedic physician by profession, has been working for the rights of bonded and child labourers and other marginalised people in Varanasi and eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, India. In 1996, he and his wife Shruti founded People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Right (PVCHR), a community-based organisation, to break the closed, feudal hierarchies of conservative slums and villages by building up local institutions and supporting them with a high profile and active human rights network.

He has become the symbol of nonviolent resistance among millions of Dalits fighting for dignity. For his commitment in favour of marginalized people, he has periodically suffered death threats.

Already an Ashoka Fellow, Lenin was the President, United Nations’ Youth Organisation (UNYO),Uttar Pradesh (India) Chapter. Lenin’s work has been recognised with Gwangju Human Rights Award for 2007. In 2009, in collaboration with the Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victim (RCT), Denmark, Lenin developed Testimonial Models for torture survivors in India. City Council of Weimar in Germany selected Lenin Raghuvanshi for the International Human Rights Award for 2010.

किन्तु उस पर अभी क कार्यवाही नही हुई। इस पत्र में मैने श्री सुनील कुमार गुप्ता द्वारा संस्था को फंसाने व देख लेने की धमकी की शिकायत थी। यही नहीपीडि़ता माननीया सपना चौरसिया द्वारा 03दिसम्बर, 2012 को भेजे शिकायती प्रार्थना पत्र (संलग्नक संख्या-4) व मेरे द्वारा 05 दिसम्बर, 2012 को भेजे शिकायती प्रार्थना पत्र (संलग्नक संख्या-5) पर पुलिस कार्यालयवाराणसी का महिला प्रकोष्ठ लीपापोतीउल्टा धमकी देने एवं दबाव बनाने का कार्य कर रहा है। जिस पर 19 जनवरी, 2013 को माननीया सपना चौरसिया (संलग्नक संख्या-6) द्वारा एवं 22 जनवरी, 2013 को मेरे द्वारा (संलग्नक संख्या-7) वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधीक्षक को भेजा गया है। यही नहीराष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग ने इस मामले पर 15 दिसम्बर, 2012 को वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधीक्षक को 4 हफ्ते में जाँच कर रिपोर्ट देने का निर्देश दिया है। (संलग्नक संख्या-8, केस संख्या-42218/24/72/2012/UCइसके अलावा वाराणसी पुलिस ने 2002 में श्री सुनील कुमार गुप्ता की पहली पत्नी सोनी गुप्ता के Hanging द्वारा अप्राकृतिक मृत्यु के मामले को भी रफा-दफा कर दिया है। (संलग्नक संख्या-9, पोस्टमार्टम संख्या 1280/2002) इससे श्री सुनील कुमार गुप्ता के रसूख व वाराणसी पुलिस से मिलीभगत का पता चलता हैं।

घरेलू हिंसा के मामले में पुलिस की कार्यवाही में हीला-हवाली व पति द्वारा जान-माल के खतरे के संदर्भ में पीड़िता सपना चैरसिया का बयान...


03 दिसम्बर, 2012 को मानवाधिकार जननिगरानी समिति के सहयोग से वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधीक्षक वाराणसी का घरेलू हिंसा मानसिक व शारीरिक यातना व जानमाल के खतरे की शिकायत भेजी साथ ही समिति से सुरक्षित स्थान पर रहने की गुजारिश की। शुरू में बहुत डरी थी जिसके कारण समिति ने हमारी काउंसलिंग की एवं मेरे बयान को राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग, पुलिस महानिदेशक, वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधीक्षक, गृह सचिव, मुख्यमंत्री को भेजा, जिस पर राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग ने 15 दिसम्बर, 2012 को वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधीक्षक, वाराणसी को नोटिस देकर चार हफ्ते में जवाब देने का निर्देश दिया।
आश्चर्य की बात है कि घरेलू हिंसा अधिनियम 2005 के तहत् तुरन्त कार्यवाही का प्राविधान है जबकि 16 जनवरी, 2013 तक प्रशासन की तरफ से कोई भी कार्यवाही नही की गयी। यह सीधा-सीधा घरेलू हिंसा अधिनियम का उल्लंघन और अपमान है। यही रहा तो महिलाओं के साथ हो रहे घरेलू हिंसा और बलात्कार कैसे रोके जायेगें।
यह तब स्थिति है जब दिल्ली के सामूहिक रेप काण्ड के बाद शासन और प्रशासन का यह महिला विरोधी रवैया है।
अभी 19 जनवरी को जब मैने अपना बयान महिला प्रकोष्ठ वाराणसी में देने गयी तो वे लोग उल्टे ही मुझ पर दबाव बनाने लगी और मुझे अपने पति के साथ तुरन्त घर वापस जाने को कहने लगी और मुझे अपने पति के साथ तुरन्त घर वापस जाने को कहने लगी। मैं तो घबरा गयी कि इस बार भी वो मुझे जबरजस्ती ले जाकर मानसिक और शारिरीक रूप से परेशान करेगा। जिस तरह इससे पहले भी जब मैं भागकर अपने माँ के घर आयी तो पुलिस ने मेरे भाई को ही पकड़ कर लाॅकअप में बंद कर दिया और तब छोड़ा जब मैं सनील (पति) के घर गयी।
महिला प्रकोष्ठ के कानून के अनुसार कार्यवाही करने की जगह कहने लगी कि महिलाओं को तो पतियों की मार खाना पड़ता है। जब मैंने कहा कि उसकी पहली पत्नी मृतिका सोनी संदिग्ध आवस्था में मर गयी, उसके पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट में भ्ंदहपदह से मरना दिखाया गया, इस पर कोई कार्यवाही नही हुई तो इस पर महिला प्रकोष्ठ के लोगों ने कहा कि चुप रहो ज्यादा मत बालों।
मैं बनारस की बेटी बनारस के लोगों से प्रार्थना करती हूँ कि मेरी हत्या होने से मुझे बचा ले, मेरा पुनः मानसिक और शारीरिक उत्पीड़न न होने दें और मेरे बच्चें के जान माल की रक्षा की जाए।
प्रेसवार्ता में उपस्थित सावित्री बाई फूले महिला पंचायत की संयोजिका सुश्री श्रुति नागवंशी ने बताया कि 20 दिसम्बर, 2012 को पति सुनील गुप्ता ने सुबह लगभग 0830 बजे पर संस्था के कार्यालय में आकर संस्था के निदेशक को इस घटना में कोई कानूनी सहयोग न करने के लिए धमकी दिया, पुनः 16 जनवरी, 2013 को संस्था के निदेशक के मोबाईल पर धमकी देते हुए कहा कि तुम्हें फँसा दिया जायेगा और बर्बाद कर दिया जायेगा। इस समय सपना के घर वाले भी (भाई, बहन एवं माँ) बहुत डरे हुए है।
समिति इस मामले को कानून के दायरे में आखिरी समय तक लड़ेगी और इस मामले की शिकायत संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ के मानव अधिकार प्रकोष्ठ में भी दायर कर दी गयी है।

वाराणसी। लंका में रहने वाली एक महिला ने अपने पति पर मानसिक और शारीरिक यातना देने का आरोप लगाया है। उसका कहना है कि पति उसे न घर में रहने देता है और न ही तलाक देता है। उसने जबरन पांच साल के बेटे को अपने साथ रखा है। पुलिस में भी शिकायत की लेकिन कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई। पीड़िता ने अपनी दास्तान लहुराबीर स्थित एक रेस्टोरेंट में प्रेस कांफ्रेंस के दौरान सुनाई। महिला फिलहाल एक स्वयंसेवी संस्था के संरक्षण में रह रही है। मदद करने पर संस्था के अध्यक्ष को जान से मारने की धमकी दी जा रही है।
महिला का कहना है कि जब वह 11 साल की थी तभी उसके पिता की मौत हो गई थी। 15 साल की उम्र में उसकी शादी खोजवां निवासी युवक से जबरन करा दी गई। शादी के बाद से ही पति उसे प्रताड़ित करने लगा। एमएमएस बनाकर उसे ब्लैकमेल करता था।
एक साल पूर्व उसने एसएसपी से शिकायत की थी। कहीं सहारा न मिलने पर एक संस्था ने उसकी मदद की। संस्था ने पीड़िता का बयान राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग और डीजीपी को भेजा। मानवाधिकार आयोग ने एसएसपी से जवाब मांगा था। वह महिला प्रकोष्ठ में बयान देने गई तो उस पर समझौते के लिए दबाव बनाया गया। पुलिस ने उल्टे पीड़िता के भाई को लॉकअप में डाल दिया।
