Rampant Corruption amongst administration denies justice  

 

 The victim Mr. Sunil Sarkar stated before our fact finding team that on 5.11.2009 a commotion took place between his neighbours Mr. Sanjoy Sarkar, son of late Gopal Sarkar and Mr. Gokul Sarkar, son of late Govinda Sarkar and he tried to lessen the dustup.  Later on 9.11.2009 Mr. Gokul Sarkar reportedly filed a complaint at Jalangi Police Station against Mr. Sunil Sarkar. On 2.12.2009 at about 9.30 pm six police personnel from Jalangi Police Station came to the house of the victim and started kicking on the door by their boots using filthy languages.  At that time the victim was not present in his house. His wife, the lone person in the house did not open the door of the house out of fear. Then those police personnel left the place issuing threats of dire consequences if the victim does not attend the police station forthwith.

The victim did not attend the police station out of fear of police harassment. On 3.12.2009 the victim received information that one police officer of Jalangi Police Station called one Mr. Bijon Sarkar, son of Mr. Bharat Sarkar and asked him to inform the victim to talk with the said police officer. The said Mr. Bijon Sarkar came to the house of the victim at about 4 pm called from his cell phone (being no. 9775102651) to the said police officer on his cell phone (being no. 9775171007). The said police officer without disclosing his identity asked the victim to call on his cell phone at about 10 pm in the night. Accordingly the victim called the said police officer on his cell phone and during conversation the said police officer told him that one complaint under section 308 of penal code has been registered against him. He further told him that he would settle everything and he would easily get bail. The said police officer further demanded Rs.6000/- from him on condition of closing the case. The victim told the said police officer of his inability to give such huge amount. Then the said police officer told him to think over the matter and contact him later. Later the victim called the said police officer on his cell phone but he did not incline to talk with him. The victim again called the said police officer on 6.12.2009 at about 5.44 pm and the said police officer told him that he would not take any amount less than Rs.3000/- in order to close the case. On the same day the victim contacted our fact finding team and disclosed the details of the incident.  Then our fact finding team tried to make contact with said police officer on his cell phone being no. 9775171007 at about 9.17 pm on the same day but no response was made. Then our fact finding team tried to locate and identify the user of the said cell phone number 9775171007 and it was revealed that the said cell phone number is being used by Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police Mr. Sujoy Roy of Jalangi Police Station. 

 The victim stated before our fact finding team that on 8.12.2009 Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police Mr. Sujoy Roy of Jalangi Police Station escorted with 13/14 police constables reached the house of the victim in order to arrest him. But the victim was present in his house at that time and the said police officer called him on his cell phone but the victim did not receive his call.

 On 9.12.2009 the victim lodged one written compliant before the Superintendent of Police, Murshidabad detailing the incidents of ongoing police threats and demand illegal gratitude by the involved police personnel of Jalangi Police Station.

 On 10.12.2009 at 9.40 pm during a telephonic conversation, our team told Mr. Sujoy Roy; the Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police  of Jalangi Police Station, that the victim reported that several calls were made from his phone to the victim’s phone. The said police officer told that he made calls as the victim was not present in his house while he went to arrest him. Then our team asked for the details of the case in which the victim was implicated.  Mr. Sujoy Roy replied that he was implicated Jalangi Police Station Case no. 615/2009 dated 9.11.2009 under sections 325(punishment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt)/340(wrongful confinement) of Indian Penal Code. Then our fact finding team told him about the accusation of the victim of his demand of money from the victim. The said police tried to avoid the allegation saying that the victim was running away from his house of being afraid of police, so he called him in order to tell him to get bail from court as he was implicated in bailable offences.
