DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 3: TUK: Thenyizumi Union Kohima (TUK) is deeply shocked and dismayed over the incident that occurred on October 24 and 25 at North Police Station, Kohima, where on false complaint and false allegation of theft was lodged by Krovelhupe Koza, a graduate teacher under DIS Chozuba, Phek district against a student Sehuto Nakro, a juvenile 17 years studying in class 11 at Government Higher Secondary School, Seikhazou Kohima.
TUK chairman, Chekrongoi and general secretary, Theyo Vezhoto, stated that the victim was brutally manhandled and physically assaulted thereby causing grievous injury to vital parts of his body.
The union said this culture is alien to our society and should be dealt with seriousness so that justice is delivered.
TUK also condemned the monstrous act committed by the uniformed personnel on taking the law into his own hands. It said such irresponsible uniformed person deserves a befitting punishment in accordance to the law of the land. It added that the law should take its own course to deliver justice to the victim and the concerned citizen, so that it will serve as a deterrent to incidents of such nature.
Meanwhile, TUK thanked the doctors of Naga Hospital Authority, Kohima and all those who have rendered their support through prayers, love and concern, materially and financially. The union prayed for the victim family and speedy recovery of the injured person. Further, TUK called upon all concerned citizens to extend their support to deliver justice to the victim and family members.TSU: Thenyizumi Students’ Union (TSU) has vehemently condemned the irresponsible act of the complainant Khrovelhupe Koza, a graduate teacher under DIS Chozuba on whose distort and misguided information, Sehuto Nakro, a bonafide member of Thenyizumi Students’ Union was arrested on false allegation of theft and unceremoniously subjected to brutal physical torture and inhuman assault deprived of any rhyme and reason.
The union is pained and shocked to observe a teacher in a noble profession to be so antagonist, misgiving and invited undesirable action from law enforcement agencies. TSU said a person of such stature and noble profession is never expected in any given situation to be so mean and adorn the behaviours devoid of any qualified sense fit to be treated as an educated citizen.
TSU expressed wonder on how a juvenile, who under the constitution of India is entitled to reserved provision even at the cost of criminal offence, could be subjected to inhumane treatment causing physical and mental agony.
TSU president Nesazo Theyo and general secretary Besuhkhoto Swuro, stated the untold explanation inside the cell has amounted to violation of all human rights under any established laws. Therefore, the union categorically treated the unprovoked action inside the cell as uninvited unqualified.
Further, TSU appealed the concerned authority to take remedial and corrective action against the erring officials who were involved in the acts amounting to violation of human rights and Juvenile Justice Act against the student.
Kohima Sumi Students’ Union (KSSU) has vehemently condemned the unprofessional act of the duty officer, North Police Station, Kohima, who meted out an inhumane act towards a 17 year old student of Government Higher Secondary School, Seikhazou.
KSSU said the police officer who is supposed to be the protector, inflicted serious injuries to the helpless juvenile by allegedly attending the duty drunk and torturing the boy without ascertaining the truth of the allegation.
KSSU president Zakato Chishi, said the scars on the victim’s body showed the grievousness of the physical injury inflicted and the mental trauma the boy underwent cannot be described in mere words. Even a juvenile in conflict with law is not physically tortured in this manner and rather corrective measures are preferred, so no part of law gives the duty officer to handle the juvenile in such an inappropriate manner, it stated.
Further, KSSU demanded the concerned authority to take appropriate action, according to law against the duty officer for meting out such an inhuman act towards a student, lest the citizens lose faith upon the so called protectors of the citizens.
