New Delhi, July 18 (IBNS) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Friday said the Uttar Pradesh government has paid Rs.3 lakh as monetary relief to a rape victim in the state.

The state government made the move following directive of the NHRC.

" On the recommendations of the National Human Rights Commission, the Government of Uttar Pradesh, after initially denying to provide financial assistance to a minor victim of rape by a Police Constable, finally paid Rs.3 lakh as monetary relief to her, when the Commission, through its show cause notice said that a public servant had violated the victim's human rights for which the State was liable," the NHRC said in a statement.

" Earlier, in response to the Commission's notice, the State Government had said that there was no provision in the Police Department to provide financial assistance to the victim. In its communication to the Commission, the State Government said that a criminal case under Section 376 IPC was filed against the accused Constable. He was arrested and sent to jail," it said.

The incident had happened on the Sept 5, 2012 in Janaki Nagar, under Police Station Kotwali Nagar, District Gonda.

The NHRC said the victim had gone to drop her younger brother to school.

"While coming back home, she was waylaid by the Constable who dragged her to a bush and physically assaulted her," it sad in the statement.
