[rti4empowerment] Fw: [kria] Harassment of RTI Activist

Dear All,

K N Jagadish Kumar an young and enterprising enthusiast of RTI has been
arrested a fortnight ago by those against whom he has got information
through RTI. I met him personally when I was moved by a mail on this board
about his predicament. I was stunned and really surprised at the
information he had gathered against the most powerful Corporator, an IPS
Officer in the locality and also several big wigs in the Government.
However, he was least concerned about protection and did not care for his
personal security which to me looked rather strange and funny. I cautioned
him but he wouldn't care. He was very determined to go against the
culprits.

Earlier they foisted a `Dowry & domestic violence case against him which
fell flat. I even met his wife at their residence and the falsehood was
clear. The authorities also foisted a trumped up charge of `Attempt to
murder' of another local corporator and that too fell flat when the designs
got exposed. He was taken away by goons who ruffed him and beat him bolt
and blue without anybody helping him. And now they have foisted a case
under Atrocities Act which is being widely misused. I am aware that another
activist was also framed on a similar charge and he faced problems.

I stumbled upon this information when I was casually passing through his
area and wanted to meet him.

We need to do something and all of us should join and go as a delegation to
the Police authorities and give a representation and also release it to
Media.

Hope this is taken up seriously and not ignored with subjective prejudices
and our own dogmas. It can happen to him, it can happen to anybody except
those who give discourses and conduct Seminars to propagate the RTI Act for
their own vested interests.

With warm regards
