This case is from Akbarpur police station in Ambedkar Nagar. The accused poses for photos with ruling party leaders and police. After the Azad Samaj Party intervened, the FIR was filed under mild pressure, leaving the mother fearing her daughter’s murder.
Ambedkar Nagar (Uttar Pradesh): Amidst claims of “zero tolerance” and “Mission Shakti” in Uttar Pradesh, a Dalit mother has been searching for her kidnapped daughter for the past year. But far from getting justice, her protectors have become predators. When this helpless mother went to the police to plead for justice, instead of justice, she received forced signatures on blank papers, threats, and vulgar casteist slurs like “Chamriya Saali.”
This entire case, involving the Ahirauli and Akbarpur police stations in the Ambedkar Nagar district, presents a chilling picture of Dalits’ access to the justice system and the nexus between police, criminals, and politicians.
What is the full story?
Urmila (wife of Munnu), a Dalit woman, lives in Tiwaripur village under the Ahirauli police station. According to Urmila, on May 2, 2024, Ved Prakash Mishra, alias Bhola, a powerful upper caste man from the village, and his brother, Satya Prakash Mishra, alias Sattu, kidnapped her elder daughter, Jyoti. Following a complaint to Dial 100, the police pressured her into a compromise, claiming it was a “rural matter.” For safety, Urmila sent her daughter to her maternal home in Imampur village (Akbarpur police station).
The mother alleges that the brazen men were so emboldened that on May 19, 2025, at around 12 noon, Ved Prakash, Satya Prakash, and their associates entered the Imampur home and forcibly abducted Jyoti in broad daylight. Since then, there has been no trace of Jyoti.
Abused Dalit mother at the police station: “You Chamariya bitch… I will throw you in jail.”
After her daughter’s second kidnapping, when Urmila went to the Akbarpur police station seeking justice, the police’s attitude resembled that of criminals. According to the victim’s video statement and the complaint to the Superintendent of Police, the police not only attempted to protect the accused but also forced Urmila to sign a blank paper.
The extreme point was reached when policemen openly hurled casteist abuses at Urmila in the police station premises. In a complaint to the Uttar Pradesh State Women’s Commission, the victim’s mother accused the police of using them as a pretext: “You Chamariya bitch, you force girls into prostitution. I will file a false case against you and throw you in jail.” The police threatened Urmila and drove her away, saying, “You will be beaten with 50 sticks. Run away from here.”
The accused’s influence: From the police inspector to the Deputy Chief Minister
The reason for this police action is evident in the photos viral on social media. Satya Prakash Mishra, alias Sattu, brother of the main accused, Ved Prakash, has strong political influence. In the photos, the accused, Satya Prakash Mishra, is seen exchanging bouquets with Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Minister of State Dayashankar Mishra “Dayalu,” and other senior BJP leaders.
The most shocking photo is of Akbarpur’s police inspector, Srinivas Pandey, to whom the accused, Sattu Mishra, is presenting a memento on his birthday. When the inspector himself is seen standing with the kidnapping accused, how can a poor Dalit woman get justice?
60,000 forcibly deposited into her account, now the accused has married again
According to the victim, the accused, with the connivance of the police, forcibly deposited 60,000 rupees into her son’s bank account to hush up the matter and promised that “the girl would return in two or three days.” However, the daughter never returned.
The mother was devastated when she learned that Ved Prakash Mishra, the main accused in her daughter’s disappearance, had married another woman a few days ago (on the 14th). Now, Urmila fears that the kidnappers may have gang-raped and murdered her daughter and hidden her body somewhere.
Azad Samaj Party’s Intervention and Legal Battle
After administrative negligence reached its limits, the State Secretary of the Azad Samaj Party (ASP) intervened in the case. According to the ASP leader, only after she exerted pressure on police officers was a nominal FIR (FIR No. 293/2026) registered at the Akbarpur police station.
The ASP leader told The Muknayak that the police deliberately omitted the serious sections of kidnapping and the SC/ST Act mentioned in the application in the FIR, so that the accused could be easily protected. The police are not arresting the accused.
ASP officials have filed a caveat in the High Court to prevent the accused from obtaining an arrest stay from the High Court. A complaint has also been filed with the State Women’s Commission, the Human Rights Commission, and the SC/ST Commission in Lucknow.
Questions Raised by the System
This incident raises serious questions about Uttar Pradesh’s law and order model. Is the law different for criminals with political influence? Why are the police using caste-based abuse against the victim’s mother instead of searching for her Dalit daughter who has been missing for a year? What action will the department take against the police inspector, whose photographs of his cordial relationship with the accused have been publicly available? These are questions that remain unanswered.
However, Urmila has only one demand: “I want my daughter. No matter what, they should bring my daughter back to me.”
