Pooja Mishra, who runs an IT company in Munich, Germany, became a savior for her brother-in-law. When she came to know that her brother-in-law was being tortured in various ways at the Navjeevan Daan drug de-addiction center run in Om Saidham Colony near Bhudbaral in Meerut for the last seven years, she could not bear it and came to Meerut from Germany, thousands of kilometers away.

She freed her brother-in-law from this centre. During this time, she found this centre to be more of a place of inhuman torture than a place for de-addiction. She freed her brother-in-law from the centre and took him to her other residence in Agra. There she wrote a letter to the National Human Rights Commission through e-mail and described the inhumanity of this centre.

The commission issued a notice to the DGP of UP and summoned a report. The DGP ordered the DM and SSP to immediately form a team and take action in this matter. During the action of the police administration, the NRI woman came from Agra to Meerut and freed 23 people from this center.

Pooja's brother-in-law was in a de-addiction centre for seven years

Entrepreneur Pooja Mishra, a native of Sushant City, lives in Munich, Germany. Pooja got information that her brother-in-law has been living in Navjeevan Daan drug de-addiction center for seven years. Her brother-in-law is being tortured in various ways. She reached Meerut on July 18 and freed her brother-in-law. Later she informed the National Human Rights Commission about the center.

Case filed on Pooja's complaint

Pooja told the commission that this seems more like a place of inhuman torture than a de-addiction centre. The commission's deputy registrar (law) KK Shrivastav filed a case in this matter and sought an immediate report from the UP DGP. The DGP ordered the DS and SSP to form a team and take immediate action. He also informed Pooja Mishra about this through e-mail.

They kept people in small rooms filled with dirt

Pooja says that many people were kept captive in small and dirty rooms in the center. There was no doctor, nurse or counselor present there. There was only one toilet in the room.

The victim cried bitterly

On Tuesday, Puja went to Subharti Hospital to know about the condition of the victims. Seeing her, many victims started crying bitterly. They said that it was only because of her initiative that they got freedom from that hell. Among the victims was a retired army officer. A young man claimed that he was not addicted to drugs, but due to property dispute, he was forcibly admitted to this center. In such a situation, it does not seem possible for him to go home. Puja said that as per the orders of the Human Rights Commission, the administration should make arrangements for the rehabilitation of the victims.

10 people went with their relatives

The centre is not registered with the health department. Out of the 24 patients admitted in Subharti Medical College Hospital, relatives of 19 have been contacted. By Tuesday evening, relatives had taken 10 patients with them. Four-five weak patients are undergoing treatment. Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Deputy CMO
