The Assam Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has instructed the Dibrugarh district government to launch an investigation into the All Assam Students’ Union (AASUcharges )’s of police harassment and atrocities.

The Commission issued a notice to the district administration after taking suo-moto consideration of the accusations and media reports.

The AHRC has requested that the Dibruharh district administration submit the comprehensive report within one month.

“It is also alleged that the SP-led police squad violently beat up members of AASU and subjected them to inhuman torture during custody who were picked up on December 25 and later arrested five among them in connection with a college election related brawl,” the AHRC noted in the decision.

The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) had requested stern punishment against Dibrugarh Superintendent of Police Shwetank Mishra, accusing him of beating AASU workers in Dibrugarh for no apparent cause.

The Assam Human Rights Commission was constituted by the Government in 1996 to address the public grievances relating to Human Rights violation as per Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

The Commission is headed by Chairman who must be a retired chief judge of a High Court. One Judicial Member (retired judge) and one Non-Judicial Member ( retired person of any field with knowledge of Human Rights) assist the Commission.

Aggrieved persons can register their cases directly with the Commission.  Commission can also register cases suo-moto.
