Subject: - A request to make an enquiry in the case
of custodial death of Munna singh.
Most Respected Sir,
With
sincere regards I would like to draw your attention to the recent incident of
custodial death of Munna singh which has shook the entire state of Bihar. Prima faciely,
this case brings before us the most cruel, atrocious and inhumane face of
Police department of Bihar.
The
facts gathered on the basis of media reports telecasted and published in Bihar are as follows :-
·
That, the police
of Jamui Police Station (Bihar) lodged an FIR on 5th of May 2013 against the unknown offenders for abducting BankunthVarnvala,
a cloth merchant and resident of Navinagar.
·
That, the Police
in course of investigation have arrested Dablu Mishra of Navinagar who is a
merchant and deals in Cement.
·
That, the police on the basis of the statement
given by Dablu Mishra, made Munna singh (30yrs.) of Lakhhapur village as an accused in the case of abduction.(Not
Primary)
·
That, Munna Sigh after knowing the fact that he has
been made an accused in the said case, surrendered himself before the district
session court on 13th of june 2013.
·
That, on 20th/June/2013 as requested
by the police the court for the purpose of making an inquiry about the said
abduction allowed for 2days police remand.
·
That , during
the remand period Police crossed all the limits by grossly violating the human
rights of the accused by putting petrol, chilly powder, and police Stick (
Lathi ) in his anal.
·
That, on 22nd of
june 2013 he was admitted in Sadar Hospital, Jamui in an extreme critical
condition, where after first aid, the doctors referred him to P.M.C.H Patna.
·
That, after
being referred to P.M.C.H Patna his
treatment was being done under the Police inspection secretly and his family
members were not informed about the whole scenario.
·
That, from 28-29
may onwards his condition became too critical and he started vomiting the blood,
seeing which Police informed his family members.
·
That, after
tolerating unbearable pains given by the Police officials during remand period
and because of being subjected to the highest form of inhumane treatment, he
was declared dead by the doctors on 1stof july 2013(Monday).
1.
Because, this is
not the first incident where the state police has grossly violated the human
rights of the accused but within a weak two incidents had took place where in
one incident six people of Bihar had lost their life in police firing and the
other resulted in custodial death. If these kinds of extra judicial killings
are not stopped through the intervention of Human rights commission then the
people of this country would lose confidence on the system and the enforcement
of UDHR to which India is a signatory will remain like a document of no
use.
2.
Because, these
incidents have produced a frightening image of the Police in the mind of the
common People and state police will behave like an untamed hoarse.
3.
Because , the
case of custodial death of Munna Singh is not only the case of gross violation
of human rights but is also the case of violation of fundamental rights by the
State (Right to life - Article 21 of the constitution of India)
4.
That, the
ignorance of this issue by the commission will lead to the encouragement of the
Police department in repeating the same kind of treatment with the accused in
the future and the loss of the trust of the common people towards the
commission and its judicial system.
Since
the human rights commission is considered as the custodian of Human rights In
India and who is aware of the police atrocities prevailed in state of Bihar and
the unfair way of conducting investigation by the police where the accused are
within the police department therefore I Rohit Kumar, a student of B.A.LL.B

resident of Village - Nagar Bihta, P.O.- Lai , P.S.- Bihta, Distt. - Patna (Bihar)
- 801112, on the behalf of the aggrieved Party requests you to appoint a
committee to enquire into the matter. I humbly request you to communicate any
action if taken by the commission to me on the address mentioned below.
