Respected Sir,

 

I lodge this present complaint in the matter of arbitrary arrest, custodial violence and illegal detention of Mr. Sujoy Kumar Chowdhury of District-Murshidabad, West Bengal by the police personnel of Islampur Police Station under the same district. Our attached fact finding report gives details of the incident. The victim lodged written complaint against the police personnel before the Superintendent of Police, Murshidabad for taking action against the perpetrators, but till date there is no action.

The incident is against the Constitutional guarantee in accordance to Articles 21 and 22 of Indian Constitution. It again in contravention of articles 6,7 and 8 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; Government of India is the signatory of this international instrument. It further strengthens our long standing demand for immediate ratification of UN Convention Against Torture by Indian state.  

Due to gross human rights violation of the victim I seek your urgent intervention in this matter in the following manner:-

·         The whole matter must be enquired into by one neutral authority appointed by the Commission.

·         The perpetrator police personnel must be booked under the law for their gross illegal activities and punished accordingly.

·         The complaint of the victim must be acknowledged immediately and proper must be directed to be taken on the same by the concerned authorities.

·         The victim should be provided with adequate compensation and protection

Thanking you

Yours truly,
