'UP Govt acting on Nimesh commission report'

The Uttar Pradesh government today said it was acting on the recommendations of Nimesh commission which probed the arrest of two Muslim youths in 2007 on terror charges.
"The Nimesh commission report is with the government...The action on it is in under process...," Special Secretary (Home), Arun Kumar Mishra told reporters.
His comments came in the wake of media reports suggesting the government's plan to make the report public.
When asked about the action taken by the state government on the commission's report, Mishra did not elaborate.
RD Nimesh Commission was set up by the previous BSP government in the state to investigate the arrests of Tariq Qasmi and Khalid Mujahid in December 2007 after serial blasts in courts in Faizabad, Varanasi and Lucknow in November 2007.

The commission had handed over its report to the government on August 31, 2012.
After Khalid Mujahid's death in Barabanki on May 18 while he was taken back to Lucknow jail from Faizabad after a hearing, social activists are demanding to make the Commission's report public.
