The NHRC has asked the Uttar Pradesh police to expedite the search for the minor son of a man who claims to be part of the Prime Minister’s security. The boy was kidnapped from his house in Bhagpath three months ago and his father Satish Chand has had to knock the commissions’ door as local police reportedly ignored the threat of abduction the family faced for seven months till it actually happened.The NHRC thereafter got the case investigated on its own too and found truth in Chand’s version. Chand, who claims to be a commando in PM’s security, in his report to the police and the NHRC, has sought to link the abduction of his son to an earlier case of burglary in his house in Baloni.On February 4, burglars reportedly broke into Chand’s house and before leaving with the booty, warned the family against reporting to the police. Police apparently failed to take note of this though Chand had duly lodged a report and also informed the higher authorities of the threat.On September 12, burglars again struck at his house and this time, they made away with his son and valuables.The NHRC has asked the Baghpat SP to submit a status report of the case registered at the police station in Baloni within four weeks.
