The number of complaints accusing human rights violations by police staff in the state is on the rise. While in 2024 a total of 5,385 complaints were filed, the Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) was received by 2,899 complaints by May 30 this year.
The police wing, headed by the next CEO of the police officer – should help the Commission to examine such complaints – only 40 complaints have been transferred this year. This increased the eyebrows, especially because by the end of May, the investigation of the police wing led to accusations of up to 15 police staff.
T. Sham Bhat, the reigning chairman of the Commission, said that the police wing will only advance serious cases for the investigation. “Many complaints relate to illegal retention of police staff in districts outside Bengalur, where timely intervention is needed. Police sending may not serve the purpose. So we refer cases from other districts to relevant commissioners.
Demand for a full -time chairman
The Commission has been without a full -time chairman in the last 14 months, and Mr. Bhat at that time was a reigning chairman. Several human rights activists require an immediate appointment of a full -time chairman from the state government.
“The President must be appointed immediately, as the Bezhlava Commission, that KSHRC is abysmal in his duty to protect human rights, especially if the state is a violator. If the Government requires loyalty to the Constitution, it must act now, must act, act now. To act, president, president, president, president, president, is now acting, president, president, president, it is now to act, the president, president, president, president, is now acting, president, president, president, president, is now acting, president, president, president, president, president, president) Karnataka.
