Adv. Rabindra Ghosh (62) and his accompanying assistant - Rabindra Nath Baral (30) have been physically attacked and injured by Akhtaruzzaman -Superintendent of Police and by his police officers under his control at his Office in Perojpur District on 24th of November, 12 at about 1-20 p.m. while a conversation between Akhtaruzzamn and Adv.Rabindra Ghosh regarding Minority repressions, land grabbing, desecration of Hindu Deities, rape and gang rape of minority victims at Motbaria Upazila was going on. Physical attack started by police while I tried to contact with Home Secretary and I.G. of Police over phone. Rabindra Nath Baral has been seriously injured by DB Police and Adv. Rabindra Ghosh was slightly injured who was released instantly from Perojpur Sadar Hospital. Telephone set of Adv. Rabindra Ghosh was snatched away by the S.P. Perojpur. Rabindra Nath Baral's health condition was deteriorating.
Facts of the case: I, along Rabindra Nath Baral-Human Rights Activists went to meet with Mr.Akhtaruzzaman,S.P. on the application of Minority victim - Bijoy Krishna Baral and Bibek Baral whose landed property (0.66 acres) minimum cost of land Taka One crore - in Ward No.7 -Motbaria was forcefully occupied by powerful perpetrators on 12.03.2012 namely 1) Md. Majibar Rahman son of late late Hajee Mozaharuddin Howladar, 2) Md. Harun-ar-Rashid son of Abdus Sattar, 3) Md. Fazlul Hoque Moni son of late Abdul Khaleque Meah, 4) Md. Lokman Khan son of late Abdul Majid Khan, 5) Md.Ariful Hoque, son of late Anwarul Hoque, 6) Sajjad Kabir son of Md. Soharab Hossain Howladar, 7) Abdul Kalam Baidya son of Abdul Malek Howldar, 8) Rafiqul Islam son of Rafique Zammardar, 9) Shaheen Zammardar, 10) Md. Zakir Hossain (Kalam) son of Abdus Sattar, 11. Md. Abu Saleh son of late Shamdul Hoque, 12. Md. Ripon son of Abdul Hashem, 13. Md. Nazrul Islam son of Md. Anwar Hossain.
We have scrutinized the documents of Bijoy Brishna Baral and Bibek Baral who got decree by the Civil court of Pirojpur on 29.02.12 in Title Suit No. 231 of 2006. But the defendant Uttam Kumar Shikari having been lost his case, without any lawful authority, given anti-dated power of Attorney to those 13 Muslim perpetrators on 12.04.12 to enjoy the properties illegally. It is curious to note that Motbaria police took a false case No.25 dated 13.3.2012 under section 143/447/323/379/354/506 of Penal code filed by Uttam Kumar against 1) Bibek Bara, 2) Bijoy Baral, 3) Bishnu Baral, 4) Mostafa 5) Yousuf Ali, 6) Jentu Biswas and arrested innocent victim 1) Bijoy Baral giving opportunity to perpetrators easily to enter into the lands of the minority victims. I along with Rabindra Nath Baral, Bibek Baral, Bijoy Krishna Baral went to meet with Mr. Akhtaruzzman S.P.,Perojpur at his chamber at about 1.20 p.m. who gave us appointment to discuss relating to land grabbing, false cases against Bijoy Baral, gang rape of minority Hindu girl - Ms. Sanjita Kulu (13) and forceful occupation of Hindu Temple at Motbaria Upazila. Mr. Akhtaruzzaman became angry while I enquired about false case initiated by one Uttam and Dulal against Bibek and Bijoy Krishna Baral, S.P. continued to utter " Chup Beta" stop Nonsense. S.P. called some subordinate police constables to beat me and they (I will be able to identify those who assaulted me during attack) started to kick me in a solitary room by his leg and pushed me to waiting room and blocked the door from inside, snatched away my Mobile set. In the meantime Rabindra Nath Baral was dragged into another room and he has been mercilessly beaten by those police constables by pistol but and lathi resulting injuries on his bodies and head" Mr. Akhtaruzzaman also tried to extract confessional statements intimidating other two victims namely a) Bibek Baral and b) Bijoy Krishna Baral. Those two victims will depose the actual scenario during attack on us.
I, on 24.11.12 instantly communicated with the Home Secretary Mr.C.Q.K.Mustaq Ahmed, Mr.Khondakar, I.G.of Police, Mr.Phani Bhushan Chowdhury, I.G. of Police (Co-ordination) over their Telephone numbers and informed them the situation. They assured me that they will look into the matter. On 25th Nov,12, I have also informed this matter to Mr. Shamsul Hoque Tuku – Deputy Minister for Home over his cell number and he also assured me that necessary action would be taken.
I also also communicated with Mr. A.K. M. Awal, Member of Parliament, Perojpur and Ms. Shadhana Halder- Member of Parliament over phone about this matter.
Local Perojpur police took no G.D or cases against those attackers from us as the attackers are all police officers. We also went to Press Club and met with some journalist who informed us that they will not be able to publish news without permission from the Superintendent of Police, Perojpur and advised us to convene a press conference at Dhaka for taking necessary action against the police officers. I have also gone to Mr.Biplab Goswami, District and Sessions Judge of Perojpur over his telephone who became astonished hearing the news of police assault. I have also appraised the situation to Adv. Sayed Majibur – President of Perojpur Bar Association who also became astonished having been informed about the situation. Bangladesh Minority Watch is very concerned about this Police assault on the Human Rights defenders at Perojpur and we condemn this attack and necessary steps for arrest Mr. Akhtaruzzaman – and his associates responsible for assault on Human Rights defenders should be made and punishment of such offence should be done and compensation should be awarded for their medical treatment.
Previously also police in many times tried to assault me and our human rights defenders in course of our humanitarian activities in the ground zero level in Bangladesh since 2002 to 2012.
URGENT ACTION in this regard is solicited:
Through:
Adv. Rabindra Ghosh Founder President- Bangladesh Minority Watch (BDMW) 12, K.M. Das Lane, Tikatully, Bholagiri Trust, Sutrapur P.s.,Dhaka, Bangladesh. |
