Case Detail
The victim Mr. Gulam Mujtuba, is a student of local college at Narsinghapur. His father is a respectable and educated person of the area. Mr. Nazrul Islam is trying hard to educate his two sons with modern education. On the fateful night, Gulam Mujtuba came to his native from his college hostel of Narsinghapur College where he is taking a course on Engineering. At the time of the incident, he along with his friends from the said village was chatting at the vicinity of Mr. Badal's shop at Majherdiar village. All of a sudden Mr. Nilanjan Roy; the Sub Inspector of Raninagar police station along with the said police constables came at the scene and pounced and shoved Gulam Mujtuba and his friends towards their parked vehicle. The police personnel not showed any reason for arrest at that time. The personnel physically tortured the unaware youths while they were apprehended. Mr. Sahaban Ali and other villagers of Majhardiar village witnessed the incident.
Later, the youths were brought to Raninagar police station at about 8.30 pm. In the police lock up, the youths were denied to put their warm clothes and physically and mentally tortured. They not even provided food to the youths at the police lock up. The police was reportedly trying to extract confessions regarding a scuffle; which broke a few days back at adjoining village of Danrakaci under Raninagar police station but the youths have no involvement with that. During their forced stay at the police station, the youths were denied food and water. At the dead night at 1.00 am of 4.03.2012, the youths were almost driven out from the police station while the police personnel obtained their signatures on blank papers. The youths were forced to spend that night at open and in wee hours returned to their respective homes.
Gulam Mujtuba visited a doctor at Sekhpara village at 7 am of 4.03.2012 and the doctor opined for severe mental and physical torture. The families of victim youths did not made any complaints to police regarding the illegal detention, arrest and torture, out of utmost fear from local police in first hand but later the father of Gulam Mujtuba after gathering enough courage on 9.4.2012 made a complaint to the Superintendent of Police; Murshidabad and a copy of that complaint was sent to the Chairman West Bengal Human Rights Commission. Till date no appropriate measures have taken against the errant police personnel.
