New Delhi: The National Human Rights Commission has called the Uttar Pradesh police "an organised gang of criminals", quoting a half-century-old Allahabad High Court observation, while hearing charges of wrongful detention, sexual assault, false implication and cover-up against the cops.

"There is not a single lawless group in the whole of the country whose record of crime comes anywhere near the record of that single organised unit which is known as the Indian police force.... The police force in Uttar Pradesh is an organised gang of criminals," the commission said, quoting Justice A.N. Mulla.

It added: "This case is a reminder that this pungent observation made almost 50 years ago is still valid and relevant, at least for the Balrampur police of 2014."

The commission issued a notice asking the Uttar Pradesh government to explain why the victim woman, her husband and her father-in-law should not be paid Rs 5 lakh, Rs 3 lakh and Rs 1.5 lakh, respectively, as relief.

It gave the state chief secretary three months to respond, and asked the official to also report what action had been taken on the matter.

An inquiry by the commission has found that a young couple from Balrampur district had eloped in May 2014 and married in Mumbai. The woman's father lodged a complaint of kidnapping, following which the newlyweds were summoned to the Mathura police post in Balrampur in August that year.

The couple were detained in separate cells at the police post on August 12 and 13, and a sub-inspector allegedly assaulted the woman sexually. When she complained, the police did not act, the commission said.

A city court later dismissed the charges of underage marriage and allowed the woman to live with her husband as she wished.
