NHRC Asked Kerala Govt For Monetary Relief to Prison Inmate
15 July 2013
Kuttanad
National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday asked the Kerala government to pay Rs 50,000 as monetary relief to a prison inmate who was allegedly tortured by a jail warder in a Central Jail of Thrissur. According to a NHRC release issued on Monday, the Commission has directed the Chief Secretary, Kerala government to submit compliance report along with proof of payment within six weeks.
The order came after NHRC set aside Kerala Government’s contention into the matter that the rights panel should not proceed in the case as the concerned Jail Warder had been transferred on disciplinary ground.
The rights panel had taken cognisance of the incident on the basis of a complaint received from a human rights defender. He had alleged that on May 19, 2012, the Jail Head Warder meted out inhuman and degrading treatment to Vinu, a convict prisoner in Central Jail, Viyyur, Thrissur, Kerala.
