Reportedly, she was working as a domestic help at the residence of a police officer on the allegations of a theft in the house.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission has issued notices to the Chief Secretary and the Director-General of Police, Uttar Pradesh calling for a detailed report in the matter within four weeks including action against the responsible police officer and any relief granted the victim by the authorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission has observed that the contents of the media reports if true raise a serious issue of violation of human rights to the victim. The Police Officer and his family have not only misused their position but also subjected the victim to physical torture and cruelty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the media report, the wife of the police officer locked the victim at her home in the evening of 2nd May, 2022. Her husband, a police official, came along with a lady Inspector and started interrogating her about a theft in the house. <strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Besides beating her brutally, they
