Torture upon People from Socio- Economic Marginalized Sections is a Common Phenomenon

This is another incident of an awful incident of physical assault and verbal abuses perpetrated by the posted Border Security Force personal. The havoc created by the BSF personnel on the socio- economic marginalized sections is going without check. The local police conniving with the reckless BSF personnel are engaged to shield the perpetrators.

In this juncture we can only pose our faith on the human rights institutions but here again our past experience is not encouraging one.

In this incident the victim; Mr. Harish Chandra Gain, son of Mr. Kanai Lal Gain, aged about 46 years, resident of village- Ramchaki, post office - Gopalpur, under Haroa Police Station of 24 Parganas (North) was physically assaulted and verbally abused without any reasons by a BSF personal having a bad repute and at that time was intoxicated. The whole incident was an example how brute the BSF personnel are and what extent of sufferings the populace is experiencing.

While the victim went to Basirhat police station to lodge his complaint police not made any heed to his grievances, just confirming the reality that the local police and BSF are connived to subjugate the people of Indo – Bangladesh bordering districts of West Bengal.

Though, after much persuasion a General Dairy Entry has been lodged at Basirhat Police Station but after a long wait with patience, we found no positive and requisite steps under the law has been taken yet.
