So, NHRC recommended Public Security Division of MOHA to ensure proper punishment. Besides, NHRC full bench gave verdict with following recommendations: a) Payment of Tk 5,00,000 to the victim’s family as per article 19(2) of NHRC Act 2009 b) Lodge case against the alleged police staff as per the Torture and Custodial Death (Prevention) Act 2013, and c) Take action to effectively implement following recommendations1) Installation of CCTV camera in Thana/Inquiry Centre. 2) For security purpose, the accused person should be sent to relevant thana from inquiry centre immediately 3) Instructing to ensure direct supervision of OC/Circle officer during anti-drug operation. 4) Strongly follow policy on Police Source usage. 5) Physically unfit/very old Police staff should not be placed in Thana/Inquiry Centre. NHRC’s action on “Schoolboy shot by BSF, Likely to lose eyesight” News report on “Schoolboy shot by BSF, Likely to lose eyesight” drew attention of NHRC, The Commission inquired into the matter through Deputy Commissioner, Kurigram. It was found true in the inquiry. 9th grade student, Md. Rasel Mia was grazing cows and cutting grass in northern Kurigram on 30th April 2018 when he was ambushed by BSF personnel 200 yards inside to the Bangladesh territory. Two splinters from a gun shot fired by BSF hit his right eyes. In total 48 splinters hit his face. As per the decision of full bench, Senior Secretary Public Security Division of Ministry of Home Affairs was recommended to pay Tk 1 Lakh as interim assistance to Rasel Mia. In its report, the Public Security Division later replied to NHRC that losing eyesight in the BSF shooting was a matter for the Ministry of Health to act on. Commission expressed the belief that it was the responsibility of the state to ensure the security of the people and there was no scope for the Public Security Division to avoid the responsibility. As per article 19 of NHRC Act 2009 there is no scope for the Public Security Division to refuse this recommendation. 44 | Annual Report 2022 : National Human Rights Commission
