Subject: Request for Registration of FIR – SHO Vindhyachal Refusing to Register Complaint
Respected Sir,
With due respect, I, Sugana Devi, wife of Jilajit alias Jikhan Nishad, resident of village Naugaon, Police Station Vindhyachal, District Mirzapur, wish to bring to your attention a deeply distressing matter regarding the refusal of the SHO Vindhyachal to register my FIR.
Background of the Incident
On 6th July 2025, at approximately 5:00 PM, while I was tying my fishing net to my boat in the Ganga river near my residence, the following individuals:
- Umashankar, son of Ramnath
- Kaju, son of Ramnath
- Kailash, son of unknown, resident of Nanhupur, Police Station Padi, District Mirzapur
approached and began damaging my boat using their nets. Despite my immediate intervention, they drowned my boat and net in the river. The estimated loss includes:
- Boat: ₹60,000
- Fishing Net: ₹80,000
Details of Assault and Abuse
When I protested, the accused:
- Verbally abused me using obscene language
- Called me derogatory names
- Tore my saree and blouse
- Committed obscene acts in a drunken state
- Raped me and threatened to kill me and drown my body in the river
This horrifying incident has left me traumatized and in fear for my life.
Police Inaction and Humiliation
On 7th July 2025, I visited Police Station Vindhyachal to lodge an FIR. However, instead of registering my complaint, the police personnel humiliated me, further compounding my trauma.
Subsequent Steps Taken
Due to the refusal and mistreatment, I sent a written representation via registered post to the following authorities:
- Deputy Inspector General of Police, Vindhyachal Division
- Superintendent of Police, Mirzapur
- Circle Officer, City Mirzapur
- SHO, Vindhyachal
The representation includes all details of the incident and was sent with proof of dispatch, attached as scanned copies in the accompanying PDF document (pages 2 to 5).
Appeal for Justice
Sir, I am a woman from a vulnerable section of society. The refusal to register my FIR and the lack of action against the accused reflect a grave failure of law and order. I am living in constant fear and distress.
Therefore, I humbly request you to:
- Direct the SHO Vindhyachal to register my FIR immediately
- Ensure that the case is investigated under appropriate sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)
- Provide protection and justice to me as a victim of a heinous crime
