The Commission viewed the case in the light of the fact that the police took away Rama Shanker without having any FIR in hand. The Commission observed that the registration of a case against police officials and suspension of some of them was a step in the right direction but the case needed to be carried to its logical conclusion by good and professional investigation so that six police officials against whom the case had been registered were clearly identified and departmental action against SI Mahender Ram, Constable Jitender Khanna and constable Deep Chand completed expeditiously and suitable punishment awarded to them. 4.42 The Commission in its proceedings dated 7 February 2011 prima facie observed that it was a clear case of violation of human rights and therefore, issued a notice u/s 18 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 to the Government of Uttar Pradesh to show cause as to why it should not recommend monetary relief to the next of kin of the deceased Rama Shanker Ram.
