BHRC raps cop for case against dead man

Bihar Human Rights Commission (BHRC) on Friday rapped an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) for initiating proceedings under 107 CrPC against a dead man and directed the state home department to pay Rs20,000 compensation to the widow for human rights violations and agony she suffered.

According to a petition filed by Ravindra Kumar, a resident of village Bikram in Patna district, his uncle was trying to take possession of his agricultural field by razing the boundary. “The petitioner had requested Bikram police for intervention.
