Border Security Force, posted in Indo-Bangladesh bordering districts of West Bengal are paying no heed to Indian constitution and its guarantees with life and liberty of person in this course they not even sparing children, women and in most of the case the victims are belonging to minority community as the area have relatively higher concentration of religious minority or more specifically Muslims. In this killing spree they are breaking the rule of law at their behest and it became habitual on their part.

Our fact finding revealed that a minor Muslim boy named Mr. Jiarul Seikh was killed by BSF personnel without under any judicial requisites. So, the murder was a cold blooded affair and the minor was extra judicially killed by the BSF personnel and not an incident in isolation.  

He came off from an economically marginalized family. Our fact finding revealed that the Jiarul was engaged with illegal cross border smuggling as mere courier, as this become the main financial occupation of a person living in the fringe of  human survival. Jiarul was arrested while he was busy in smuggling activities, as reported.  

BSF personnel after taking the person in their custody killed him without any legal and set procedures and practices under the law of this land and by that again confirmed their scant respect for law and its practices. The natural justice idiom is established on the ethos that nobody should have any right to kill another and in this case legalities do not permit anyone with any uniform to kill a person in their custody.

 Our simple question is – whether the Constitution of India, or, any Act, or any Rule permits to kill any person while he is in custody? And whether the people of India can ask the authorities to have a fair trial on this issue? We have plenty of examples where a person was killed by the uniformed state parties to conceal the fact and in many the persons were kept alive for fair trial; again a ritual now. The killing of any person, may be he/she has committed any crime, is not only violation of human rights also it is a case of destroying the evidences.
