Bangladesh Minority Watch (BDMW)
along with Shanta Sarkar, Shyamol Banarjee, Biswanath Singh and Gouranga Roy of
BDMW-Dinajpur Chapter appeared before Md. Altaf Hossain, Officer In-charge of
Kotwali P.S. Dinajpur on 14.01.2014 at about 10:30 p.m. at his office to
apprise him the present situation of human rights violations against minority
communities at his jurisdiction as per various recent reports of such
repression. Adv. Ghosh politely asked Md. Altaf Hossain how the sections 307
and 326 of Penal code were omitted in the above cases despite serious head
injury caused to a minority victim Ramgopal Roy at Chehelgazi, the O.C. became
annoyed with him started to rebuke in a filthy language stating “Bloody
Advocate, why you are asking this question, I feel that you are not an Advocate
and Human Rights Defender-you are a stupid guy” He also loudly said “Get out
from my room, otherwise I will put you in jail-hajat,”
Adv. Ghosh was trying to convince
him the implication of law which might render the victim in a great problem
during trial. But Md. Altaf Hossain became intolerant more furious and he directed his subordinate
police officers on duty to push me out from his room with anger and said “Put
him in prison” In the meantime some police constables under his control started
to blow him at his nose and face and he was partially injured and verbally
assaulted. But Hipjur Alam Munsi-Inspector of Police (Investigation) assisted mr.
ghosh to go out from the room. Mr. Ghosh became traumatized and finding no
other alternative made a telephone call to Mr. Hasan Mahamood
Khandakar-Inspector General of Police, Bangladesh and informed him the
situation how he was physically and mentally assaulted by Kotwali Police.
Adv. Rabindra Ghosh also met with
District and Sessions Judge, Dinajpur,Deputy Commissioner,Dinajpur,
Superintendent of Police, Dinajpur and imparted in writing all of
them the unfortunate incident of attack on me today morning on
15.01.2014. He told them as perpetrators got impunity even in the courts they
became more encouraged to attack Human Rights Activists all the time.
Previously also, during their fact
finding investigation in the ground zero level, he was attacked by Police,
Advocates and perpetrators on several occasions but it is unfortunate that no
action has yet been taken against those perpetrators. All successive
governments of Bangladesh gave all those perpetrators impunity rendering the
lives, religious places and properties of minorities in a great jeopardy. In many occasions also successwive government
of Bangladesh has been trying to implicate me and my colleagues in many false
cases with a view to stop our good activities in the ground zero level.
Adv. Ghosh needs urgent Action
against those perpetrators enabling them to continue their job without any
hindrances to establish good governance and tolerance.
Many witnesses will prove the
incident of attack while police resorted to unlawful acts.
