Hukum Chand Mochi (27) S/o Ram Kumar Mochi, resident of Sadulsahar Village, hails from a Scheduled caste (Mochi) family. He was working as a computer teacher in D.A.V. School for a salary of Rs.1500/- p.m. Apart from teaching he has to do the clerical job in the school. The School Management has not paid his salary for the last three months.  In addition to teaching, Hukum Chand is pursuing B.Ed. at Kashmir University.  Since he did not have money to pay his second installment for his education, he asked the Management for his pending salary.  In order to get his salary he even threatened to resign his job if he was not paid. He also applied for jobs in other schools but they asked him to join in the next academic year.

On 18/6/07, the Head of D.A.V School Preparation Committee, Suk Dev Singh Brad, informed Hukum Chand, in front of the Principal, that they were terminating his employment, and asked him to collect his pending salary from the office on the next day. As per the instruction of the of Suk Dev Singh Brad, Hukum Chand  went to the school to collect his pending salary on 19/06/07, but Sukdev Singh Brat and Neeraj Yadav said that they did not ask him to come and made him to go back to his house without paying him.  On the 19^th and 20^th he spent his time at his home. Nobodoy was aware that he had lost his job.

On 21/07/07, at approximately at 11.00 a.m,  Hukum Chand was on his way to ward no 17 to tutor his students.  On the way, an Indica car numbered RJ-137611 overtook him and from that car Shyam Swaroop and Suk Dev Singh Barat got out of the car. They informed Hukum Chand that they had received 2-3 phone calls from his family members saying that Hukum Chand\\\'s father had met with an accident and that all his family members are at the hospital.  After telling him this they forcefully pulled him inside the car and took him to the house of Shyam Swaroop Jangu. The people who were present at the house of Vikas Mugal also came to the room and started to beat him and abused him, saying that this person is asking for more salary. The people who were sitting near Swaroop Jangu also started to beat him with belt.

At that time Ram Kumar f/oHukum Chand saw this from a window and entered the room. Once he entered the room all the people who were there abused both the son and his father with their caste name.  Sunita w/o Shyam Swaroop also threatened them. They made him to eat the leftover food which they had kept for their dog and called an advocate named Amit Chawla who brought a plain stamp paper and compelled them to write their signatures on it. After getting their signatures they released them and threatened that they would face dire consequences if they complained to the police.

When the victim went to the police station to register the case Mahodaya Richpal refused to register it, so the victim registered the case in the Police Station with the influence of the Social Activist Shri Bahalaram. But the police, favouring the school management, registered the complaint after showing it to Shyam Swaroop. On 23/07/07 Kesari Chand Jangu Dysp, who was the investigation Officer as well as the closest relative of Shyam Swaroop, manipulated the case. During Investigation he threatened Hukum Chand and also advised the perpetrators to file a counter case against Humkum Chand. He also manipulated the case, registering it as an ordinary case and filed the charge sheet only against Shyam Swaroop and Sukdev.  Since the victims are not happy with the investigation, they went to Jaipur and appealed to the senior officer to change the Investigating Officer gave the order that Bikaneer I.G. would be appointed as the new Investigating Officer but Shri Hamchand Meena was appointed instead. Shri Meena informed the local police of his arrival to Sadulsahar for the investigation, but the police colluded with the perpetrators and did not inform the victims of Meena’s arrival. When the investigation officer arrived at Sadulsahar, Hukum Chand had gone to Kashmir to write his B.Ed. and to take his exams and his father, Ram Kumar, was also away. So Shri Meena investigated the witness Mukesh Rajpurohit, Subash Chand and took their statements. And he also directed Trilogchand, the brother of Hukum Chand, to bring his father and brother to Bikaner for investigation
