Here are the key takeaways from the blog post regarding the legal battle of Smt. Mahima Maurya: The case raises important concerns around Systemic Collusion & Procedural Fraud.
- Scientific Evidence of Grievous Hurt: A Digital X-ray from Tej Bahadur Sapru Hospital confirmed a fracture. It is located at the base of the 1st metacarpal bone in the left thumb. Legally, a bone fracture is classified as “Grievous Hurt”.
- Medical Record Suppression: The Mirzapur Medical Board falsely claimed there was no initial mention of a thumb injury. However, the original CHC Vindhyachal report explicitly recorded a “CLW at the left side in thenar index fingers”. This was noted on the day of the assault. The report made the details very clear.
- Procedural Identity Fraud: Police records in General Diary (GD) No. 057 show that Pramod Kumar Kushwaha was physically detained. Despite this, the official “Challani Report” sent to the SDM Court incorrectly named Mithlesh Maurya as the party processed.
- Investigative Bias and Weak Charges: The Investigating Officer filed a chargesheet under weak sections for “Simple Hurt” (115(2)/352 BNS). This was done despite proof of a fracture. Furthermore, the Circle Officer dismissed the scientific evidence as “concocted” (मनगढ़ंत).
- Active Legal Oversight: Multiple formal actions are now active, including UPHRC Diary No. 1084/IN/2026 , RTI SPMZR/R/2026/60079 (Police), and Grievance GOVUP/E/2026/0018316.
Systemic Collusion & Procedural Fraud: The Fight for Justice in Mirzapur
Local administrative frameworks often hide deep-seated irregularities. These issues threaten the fundamental human rights of every citizen. The case of Smt. Mahima Maurya serves as a perfect example. Such situations often arise as a result of systemic collusion & procedural fraud. In fact, cases involving Systemic Collusion & Procedural Fraud reveal how authorities use these tactics to suppress justice. In this instance, authorities used medical collusion and police bias to suppress evidence of a violent assault. This post analyzes the core issues of evidence suppression and abuse of power. These matters are currently under review by the Uttar Pradesh Human Rights Commission (UPHRC) and the Chief Minister’s Secretariat.+4
1. The Medical Board Paradox: Suppressing a Bone Fracture
The most critical issue is a deliberate attempt to hide a permanent physical injury. This is made worse by systemic collusion and procedural fraud. Authorities categorized the wound as “simple hurt” despite scientific proof to the contrary.
Scientific Proof of Grievous Hurt
On September 20, 2024, a Digital X-ray at Tej Bahadur Sapru Hospital confirmed the truth. The report definitively identified a “Fracture at the base of 1st metacarpal bone” in the left thumb.+4
Legally, a bone fracture constitutes “Grievous Hurt” under Section 320 of the IPC and equivalent BNS provisions.+2
The Medical Board’s False Defense
Nevertheless, the Mirzapur Medical Board issued a report on September 15, 2025, with a shocking claim. They alleged that the initial medical examination showed “no mention of any kind of injury” to the thumb. This statement is a documented lie. Consequently, we must look at the original CHC Vindhyachal report dated September 14, 2024. That document explicitly records a “CLW [Contused Lacerated Wound] at the left side in thenar index fingers” at 11:25 AM. The “thenar” area is exactly where the fracture occurred.+4
2. Abuse of Power: The “Identity Swap” (Systemic Collusion & Procedural Fraud)
Beyond medical fraud, the investigation suffers from shocking procedural irregularities. These issues specifically target the victim’s husband, Pramod Kumar Kushwaha.+1
Arbitrary Detention
On the day of the incident, the police detained the victim’s husband while she sought medical help. They used preventive sections 170/126/135 BNSS to silence him. This action effectively equalized the victim’s family with the aggressors.+4
The Mithlesh Maurya Discrepancy (Systemic Collusion & Procedural Fraud)
Furthermore, General Diary (GD) Entry No. 057 contains a glaring administrative fraud.+2
- The police record states that they physically arrested Pramod Kumar Kushwaha at 15:30 hours.+2
- However, the official “Challani Report” for the same event names Mithlesh Maurya.+2
Therefore, the police forced Pramod Kumar to undergo an illegal court probe. They did this without any valid legal documentation in his name.+4
3. Investigative Bias: Labels Over Law
The conduct of local officers, specifically the Circle Officer (City), shows a prejudiced environment.+4
- First, the investigator used defamatory language by calling the victim a “habitual applicant”.+4
- Second, the officer dismissed a proven bone fracture as “concocted” (मनगढ़ंत).+2
As a result, the police filed a weak chargesheet under sections for “Simple Hurt” on October 24, 2025. This effectively shielded the accused from the severity of their actions, highlighting issues of systemic collusion and procedural fraud.
4. Current Legal Recourse (Systemic Collusion & Procedural Fraud)
Smt. Mahima Maurya has launched a multi-pronged legal strategy to fight this collusion:
- UPHRC Petition (Diary No. 1084/IN/2026): She submitted this on February 12, 2026, to demand an inquiry into medical suppression.+1
- RTI Inquiry (SPMZR/R/2026/60079): She demanded internal police notings to explain why the fracture evidence was ignored.
- Revenue RTI (DMOMR/R/2026/60048): This filing seeks SDM court records to expose the identity substitution of her husband.
- Grievance (GOVUP/E/2026/0018316): This matter is now with Shri Arvind Mohan (Joint Secretary) for high-level oversight.
Conclusion: The Demand for Accountability
This case is about more than just a domestic assault. It represents a systemic failure of the institutions meant to protect victims, characterized by systemic collusion and procedural fraud. When medical boards falsify reports and police manipulate judicial names, the rule of law breaks down. The victim now seeks a further investigation under Section 173(8) BNSS. She demands accountability for the Mirzapur Medical Board and the Vindhyachal Police.
