   Mostafa Mondal was living a peaceful life with his family of wife and children at the bank of river Padma; infamous for river erosions. He lost his agrarian lands during consistent land erosions by Padma and without any appropriate delivery measures for appropriate resettlement measures. He is living at a near proximity of BSF’s border out post. He lost his lands due to the erosion but till having a ¼ decimal of lands to cultivate under Parashpur Mouza of Khatian number 332’s 193/ 761/ 193/ 192 dag numbers. His family is deprived off any BPL deliverance, though enlisted in BP listing.

On the fateful night and time; 14.11.2009, BSF personnel were roaming at the place of occurrence and the victims were preparing to go to their bed. In the mean time the BSF personnel came to the place near to the adjacent of their homes and lit fire on the stacked jute sticks. During that the Mostafa’s house was in a position to caught fire, so, his wife and children started screaming and during that the member of Ghoshpara Gram Pancayet; Mr.  Saiful Shah, and Anarul Shah, Bajlur Shah , Mader Seikh and many others rushed to the place and extinguished the fire to reach the habitation of Mr. Mostafa Mondal by using waters from river Padma.

After having a discussion with the panchayet members and neighbors, who witnessed the whole incident the fact finding team was convinced that the event was not only destroyed his property which was only property belong to him for further sustenance but made a psychological scar on his wife and children.

Thereafter the said perpetrator number; the Sub- Inspector tried for a reconciliation with Mostafa and made false assurance to compensate his loss after he broke his promise, Mostafa filed a complaint to Jalangi police station on 16.11.2009, and it was registered as General Dairy Entry vide number 1048/09. While the police not taken the incident seriously as it was deserved, the victim informed us about the indifference of police. Then our monitor on 17.11.2009 called up Mr. Harish Ali, the Officer in Charge of Jalangi police station over telephone and tried to convince him about the illegal act by the said BSF personnel, the OC tried to shield the BSF personnel by saying the allegation is baseless.

As the indifference by Jalangi police station continued, the victim again made request before us and he was suggested by us to call Circle Inspector; Domkal and on 20.11.2009, Mostafa called CI- Domkal over telephone and narrated the whole incident to him. At the very next day, 21.11.2009 at about 1.30 p.m. Mr. Milan Mallick, Sub Inspector, Jalangi police station came to the place of incident and during his enquiry he interacted with M/S Bajlur Rahman, Mader Seikh, Anarul Shah, Najkul Shah and others.
